This must be the "seal" of Pablo Neruda, a famous Chilean poet. He had some kind of thing for fish.
Elder and Sister Johnson standing by one of the many fish sculptures on the grounds of one of Pablo Neruda's estates. It has a glass eye that lets light through, but today was pretty overcast so it is hard to see.
He collected a lot of strange things and had them all around the grounds. Here is the front of a steam engine of some kind. You will notice that the house appears to be supported by a couple of wagon wheels (it really isn't). It was a strange house that seemed to ramble from one room or area to another.
Mosaics of more fish above the window filled with interesting bottles.
This is a view of the ocean from his home. They say that he was afraid of the ocean and never went to the beaches by his home. Maybe that isn't strange for a poet.
