Artis Ben Dye's spectacular "Atomic Mobius" sculpture appears to have secretly, and almost literally, captured Harold Dahl's description of round, metallic, flying objects with "holes in the middle" such that they were shaped like "donuts."
Located at the Northwest corner of the intersection of South 216th Street and 20th Avenue Southwest in Des Moines.
One wonders - is the decision to locate Atomic Mobius next to the Federal Aviation Administration's shiny new regional office a nod to the fact that Dahl's flying discs arrived the very same year that Sea-Tac International Airport commercial flight operations began - in 1947? Coincidence?
The next stop is one block east - Ben Dye's Tree of Life.
