Small painted mermaid sculpture on a walkable downtown Hopkins St art trail — great for close-up detail shots, environmental portraits and a playful series when paired with other mermaids. No entry fee; curbside sidewalks and nearby municipal parking make access easy. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for soft side lighting; weekends draw families hunting all 10 statues so expect crowds. Weather: hot summers; bring sun protection. Cultural note: part of a local public-art scavenger-h
