A Sculpture Tour of Dixon (Photo Gallery)

From the kitschy to the sublime

We're all aware of the pleasant statue of children in the Women's Improvement Club park, but what other sculptures can be discovered in and around Dixon?

I looked for the full range, from garden ornamention to full, cast-metal sculpture. My criteria for sculpture specified three-dimensional objects created by human hands. That eliminated, for example, a large hunk of what I assume is petrified wood displayed in someone's front yard!

These were all shot along a morning's walk around Dixon with a Sony Ericsson K850i cameraphone, which takes five-megapixel photos. Some of the photos were enhanced using Photoshop.
