We first caught wind of the altered sculpture on Twitter, in a tweet from Jeanne: "Look what some guy welded onto a sculpture at Meridian Park. And no, it wasn't the original artist." Yep, someone added to the sculptures that ring the playground at Meridian Park. (For some beautiful shots of the other sculptures, see Jeff Ng's photostream on Flickr.)
