After noticing the seahorse on April 27th, I retraced the path and found a dolphin and a seashell within a hundred feet.
The pieces weren't inspired or inspirational, and they typify commercial art that developers suppose add a touch of class to housing developments. The images are part of the New England ambience that permeates Foster City. (We live in the Dolphin Bay development, which is next to the Edgewater Place shopping center across the lagoon from the Whaler's Cove neighborhood, etc.)
50 years ago, before nautical themes became commonplace in newly built cities, our streets were given names such as "Beach Park", "Marlin", "Shell", "Bristol", and "Catamaran."
Well, all clichés start somewhere. In the sleepy suburbs we like art that doesn't provoke.
