While walking down First Ave. to get a bagel for brunch last Saturday, I noticed that a tree on the sidewalk had something white and stubby on it. Since it drew my attention, I went up to the tree to get a closer look and I realized it was a small ceramic or clay finger.
Since I was just running a quick errand, I didn’t have my camera on me, so I went back to that spot yesterday to snap some pics. To my surprise, there was another finger. I just think it is the strangest thing. Also, since these fingers have long fingernails, they look slightly eery and creepy. I really want to know who put them there and more importantly, why? Is there any artistic significance or is this just a harmless prank? I wonder if there will be any more fingers popping up on trees in the city.
