21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Fukurokuju

I was walking through the Huntington Gardens in California with my grandfather when I saw this sculpture, and I noticed that the poles behind it sort of looked like arrows into the neck. I liked the angle, so I took a picture. I called it Fukurokuju because that is a Japanese god known for having a big head.
