Stainless Steel Turkey
Totally unexpected. The details are very nice.

Even though I didn't get to see this during daylight with the sun glinting off of the shiny feathers, and it was actually 2 a.m. when I found it, this turkey was still worth it. There is something about people being this creative, even for art that sits in front of a Turkey Federation building, that gives me hope for the human race. Beautifully detailed work.
