There's a very controversial new work of art in Encinitas, under the railroad bridge on one of the busiest streets in town. Apparently individuals posing as city employees (hard hats, yellow uniforms) erected the stained-glass mosaic of a surfing "Our Lady of Guadalupe." It has been debated in city council as the city wants it removed, the majority of the community seem to want it to stay.
It's not in a great place to view it because there's just a narrow sidewalk, and when the signal changes you don't dare step backwards off the walk for fear of being hit. It's an incredible piece of art and perfect for a surfing community. Hopefully it'll find a good home (there are offers, apparently) and hung in a place for all to see.
