OK, so I didn't plan to have that bottle of Dos Equis hanging there on the left side of the photo. In fact I had absolutely no idea that it was there when I went looking for X photos a little while ago. It was the metal bands that make up the big head, criss-crossing themselves into a plethora of Xs that I wanted to find among my thousands of phot. I mean, I took these photos last October, knowing that sooner or later I'd find a use for them, and here they are!
I shot this, too, so we'd all know what the sculptor's intentions were, for the big heads--there's one on each corner, a block apart. I got off the bus early that sunny afternoon and walked to the south side of West Burnside on purpose, just to take big head pix.
See, here's the other one.
And here's the first one again, with PGE Park in the background.
I'm kinda tickled with my ABC Wednesday X post--hope y'all are, too!
If you're of a mind to, please go to Mrs. Nesbitt's Place for loads of other ABC Wednesday blogs! Look at the list of links per Mr. Linky.

Definitely surprising X post to me! Not sure I want to meet one of these when I get off a bus in Portland!!!!!! Come and see mine.
Excellent post and much appreciated you getting the early bus to capture this, thinking of us all here for aBC Wednesday. A great community feeling!
It is certainly different and neat looking.
This is really different and unique art work! And a great find for X's!

Oh yeah, in my drinking days I certainly put down more than my share of XX's...
I guess X's are out there, where you would least expect them...
And that is really an interesting sculpture!
Great sculpture and X-cell-ant illustration of "X"!
"Louis" is buried deeper than his cowbell in a work project for the next several weeks. He will stop and visit, but may not stay long enough to 'sign the guest registry'.
What a startling image. Now he does have the x factor. Xcellent x.
I love the masks, faces, heads , whatever they are I like 'em.
