A lavender-blushish colored head topped an old parking meter post at the south side of piers 32/34 (the pier 34 end). The eyes and nose looked left.

The green head on a post appeared somewhat squished and gazed downward.

The light wasn't correct for this face, but if you look carefully, you can tell the face is gazing at your righthand elbow.

Someone had poked this red head in the eye. On a normal human head the wound would be red, but on this red head, the wound is silver.

One of the heads had been placed on a post bent back over the water and partly hidden by a huge weed.

A silver head gazed sphinx-like inward next to old pier hardware.

An orange head appeared heavily pocked from too much facial abuse. Perhaps it was the close proximity of the square post.
