Astoria Appreciation

I've been in a love-hate relationship with Astoria for 7 years now. Currently, we are in a love phase. This is due, in part, to Astoria's parks. One in particular- the Socrates Sculpture Park is just a short walk away, and it's really cool. Located along the East River, it is quite a peaceful little nook of Queens, complete with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. And of course, art!

Where else can you find a full size Camaro trophy? Come on now.
Or...this?
Looks like a package of multi-colored rubber bands exploded.
How did they make this ginormous structure??

I believe this exhibit is over now. I wonder what's coming next?
Makes me feel lucky to live in Astoria.
