If you've ever been up to the Houston Foundry on Burnett St. in the Fifth Ward, you've probably seen Metalhenge, a sculpture group of metal screens in an empty lot at the corner of Maury and Burnett.

Metalhenge
I have no idea who the artist is. (If you do, please let me know in the comments.) I've always liked them, though.
Imagine my surprise as I was driving through a nondescript Spring Branch neighborhood when I saw this.

This is at 1733 Crestdale, just south of Neuens Rd. It certainly appears to be by the same artist.
Let me add that this is not a neighborhood where I would expect anyone to have a sculpture in their front yard. The reality, I've found, is that Houstonians just choose not to decorate their yards in this way. It's really rare. I was delighted to stumble across this exception to the rule.
