Blue Mustang, Fiberglass sculpture at Denver International Airport, US
The 32-foot-tall blue horse sculpture features illuminated red eyes and stands at the entrance of Denver International Airport on Peña Boulevard.
Luis Jiménez created this $300,000 commissioned sculpture in 1993, but tragically died in 2006 when a section fell on him during construction.
The bright blue coloring and LED-illuminated eyes reflect the artist's connection to Mexican murals and his father's neon sign business in Texas.
Visitors can view the sculpture while driving on Peña Boulevard, but stopping or parking near the installation is not permitted.
The sculpture received its nickname 'Blucifer' from local residents and sparked multiple removal requests during its first five years of installation.
