Midsummer Snowballs, art to make you smile and other strange objects

Andy Goldsworthy made huge snowballs filled with leaves, flowers, branches and berries. He left them in a city street, slowly melting and revealing their hidden treasures, to passing commuters. These snowballs are about the processes of time and change. He describes the movement of commuters as “a river of people”. He is concerned with the ecology of the city. I think the dog is unconcerned with the city or ecology, just playing fetch with a beech branch liberated from a piece of street art.

"We declare the world as our canvas" is a mission statement by Street Art Utopia, I like this concept, it could be applied to Unit X.

Not sure whether these are naff or clever.  Each one was painted by a different artist.
