Climb

Life doesn't get easier.

We get easier with life.

So there are some of these climbing figures on the side of a building here in Ames.  I imagine they represent the need to ascend.  The desire to move above.  To overcome obstacles.  To reach the top or your dreams or to achieve the ultimate success.

Of course, I made the assumption that they were climbing up.  Maybe they are climbing down.  Maybe the goal is to return to simpler times when life wasn't so challenging and there were fewer obstacles - or at least they were so happy in the moment that they didn't even see the obstacles in front of them.

Or maybe it's a tribute to someone names Wallensclimber.  Which is a pretty cool tribute.
