I have driven past the Winsome building in Woodinville many times,
admiring the monumental art facing the street. Perhaps the observed figures represent a pair from the Ashtadiggajas (अष्टदिग्गज) or are a votive offering. Their employment symbolizes wisdom and strength, yet one pauses to think of the home of Gavroche¹ when contemplating fabrications of Behemoth of such scale. This majestic statuary, however designed to be perdurable, exists in an age of impermanent care, so today as I was rumbling past in my own bit of mechanical art, I decided to pose it for a picture as a memento of beautiful things.
