Downtown Ogden...
you will see a painted horse... you'll see 2 more by the fountain in the background, and they dot a few of the corners. Link to Painted Horses. The building is the train station.

Looking the other direction... you'll see our iron horses.The view is east on "Two-bit street" (25th Street).
It looks pretty mild, doesn't it.
"Crime boss Al Capone commented in the 1920s that Ogden was too wild a town for him." [Historic 25th].
It's not that way now.. at least during the daylight!
Fun! We saw painted bison in Cody, WY, recently and the real thing in Yellowstone. Lots of iron horses like yours, too!

ReplyDeleteG'day Cat, Love the painted horses ... are they there all the time? We had painted cows that were around the city everywhere but they used to travel as they were a fund raising venture - I must look into where they are now but I do know there are two out at our International AirPort.
ReplyDeleteLove your 'iron'horses they look like they could be a lotta fun ... luv ... B
Barbara I wonder if your cows are the same mould as ours here in Oz... I will try & find a photo & put it on my blog ... interesting ... B [again]
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute town. The horses are cool. I love the mountains in the background. WOW
ReplyDeletethat painted horse looks pretty amazing ... the bikes, on the other hand, are DREAMY. :)
ReplyDeleteHeyyy The Painted Horses look pretty cool. Thanks for the link. Have you seen most of them yourself ?
ReplyDeletePretty NICE Iron Horses !
So Ogden WAS wild and wooly , no kidding. I read that link and it sounds like it was definitely akin to DEADWOOD !
Underground Bootlegger Tunnels....think they still use em ?
Fun Post !

Love both those Horses Cat, hope Annie is doing ok?
ReplyDeleteNice play on words, there! You're staying pretty sharp, it seems. It's nice to see you out and about. The weather is certainly perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Ogden for years. But I have always heard that it's full of hellions. LOL.
Give a big hug to sweet little Annie for us. We so hope that she is feeling better - poor thing.
Take care!
I have four of the painted horses (the miniature collectables of course). Wonderful art!
