Barbara Foose says, “I took this pic of the recently erected
911 memorial located on Forest Hill Blvd. in Wellington, FL.
I’ve asked a multitude of people and NO ONE responsible
for the project seems to be aware of the resemblance of a
horse with fowing mane that appears to the left of the steel
structure!!! It can ONLY
be seen from this one
particular vantage
point. Every other
angle appears to be
just twisted steel. The
steel beams were in no
way altered and I think
it’s rather bizarre that
a “spirit horse” found
it’s way to Wellington
to help commemorate
all those noble people
who lost they’re lives
so unnecessarily…”
We love your sharp
eye, Barbara AND your
photo!
