Northwest Wine Fan ventured out to capture some photos of these Central Oregon wonders. Watch out, hurry up, yield! The roundabouts are upon us! As usual, just roll your mouse over a picture and/or click on the pictures for more information. |

| The Old Mill District has its latest Roundabout located at Bond Street and Wilson titled "Ghost" With a nod to the milling that used to be done in the area one can only wonder if the equipment here is from the old Crane Shed. Artwork by Andrew Wachs & Erik Gerding |

| At the other end of the Old Mill District at the Colorado & Simpson Roundabout is this piece titled Redsides depicting a school of Redside Trout native to the Deschutes River. The school swims with the wind. Artwork by Miles Pepper |
| OK! This is where I am supposed to say that our Mountain View Cougar sculpture is much cooler than the Bend High Lava Bear sculpture! Do you see a cougar here? Nooo...we get a plow horse! What's that about? (Great art though) Once again we reiterate, no cars in the middle of Roundabouts. Go Cougars!!! |

| Here we are at Mt. Washington and Century Drive for a Roundabout designed like a compass. This piece is titled "Mt. Bachelor Compass." These four poetic compass points done in brushed aluminum stand at the gateway to Mt. Bachelor. The "S" shown is the new one. Note to drivers, your car in the middle of a Roundabout does not constitute art in a public place. Nice to see it back in its finished form. Artwork by Steve Jensen |
