North Shore Art

There’s always something interesting to see at the corner of Beck and North Shore Roads in Belfair. For one thing the owner is a car collector so in good weather you can usually catch a glimpse of some of the vehicles in his collection, which includes a beautiful 1955 Ford Crown Victoria. But old cars aren’t the only decorations in the big yard that’s across the street from Belfair State Park. On my bike ride today I noticed a new metal sculpture (see photo). It wasn’t named, so let’s go with “Balancing Act.” The torso is fashioned from an old water heater. The statue’s hard noggin looks familiar, but I can’t place it.

There’s another sculpture after the jump.

“Frosty” or perhaps I should call him “Rusty” the Snowman campaigned hard last fall in the Belfair water commissioner race. He’s a fixture on the North Shore Road so a lot of voters must have taken his advice. His candidate won handily with almost 60 percent of the vote. So far he’s uncommitted in this year’s presidential election. It would have been interesting to see how “Rusty” blended in a couple of weeks ago when there were six inches of snow on the ground.
