A city of Winston-Salem water tank is making a splash as one of approximately 270 water tanks across the United States and Canada that have been nominated for the 2018 “Tank of the Year” contest. The tank — on Sides Road and visible from Peters Creek Parkway — features a 50-foot-tall American river otter, a species found along the Yadkin River in Forsyth County. The mural was completed by Florida-based artist Daas in May and depicts the King Kong-size otter in an explosion of geometric shapes and colors, reminiscent of Japanese origami. (LINK)
