...you should see the square sugar maples (http://www.ogs.state.ny.us/visiting/cultural/tours/common/images/july4Beatlemania.jpg) in the Empire State Plaza in ALbany.
(BTW - sorry about the small image size... you'd think something as odd as square sugar maples would turn up on a Google search, but apparently the rest of the Plaza wins out for most tourists.)
"Migratory fish are classified according to the following scheme: - diadromous fish travel between salt and fresh water -anadromous fish live in the sea mostly, breed in fresh water -catadromous fish live in fresh water, breed in the sea -amphidromous fish move between fresh and salt water during some part of life cycle, but not for breeding -potamodromous fish migrate within fresh water only -oceanodromous fish migrate within salt water only" from wikipedia
The statue is part of the Riverwalk development--a bunch of new construction by the River to try to draw tourists to Hartford. It apparently has fiber optics in it (the statue) that represent or depict fish. The anadramous fish were important to the Native people; the plaque in front of the statue says that the fish have returned lately because the river isn't as polluted as it used to be.
