Cast in Seville, Spain in 1720, this cannon now sits on the campus of the Pratt Institute. The giant head looming behind it is Leucantha by Philip Grausman.

The Pratt cannon

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Matt, is that guy giving you the indiscreet bird?
Hard to say. He’s the Mona Lisa of middle fingers.
Oh yeah Matt. This guy is definitely giving you the finger. And a nasty look to go with it. . Why not wait until he was out of the shot?
