Leaving the parking lot I spotted this huge pig being pulled behind the truck. Silly me, I thought it was probably advertising a BBQ stall at the market we had just left at Lake Anne. I was so totally focused on the pig that I didn't see the writing until enlarged on the computer screen. Meet Porky, the Dulles Rail Pig....
a protest pig.
"Pork" is a name used for wasteful government spending.

I love the piggie! I bet he turned a few heads!
Sunny :)
That pig would definitely have turned my head! Great capture!
Wow. In the words of E.B. White (Charlotte's Web) "That's some pig".
Denise, I had to smile when I read this. Here in Australia, people are so cautious about the pig flu going round. Every malady is 'pig flu'. And just when we are about to embark on a new pie shop and guess what's on the menu? Yes, Pork pies. I can't help but think of the movie "Babe", where, at the end, the farmer looks down and says "That'll do, Pig. That'll do".
Wow, Denise...a very interesting picture...
Have a nice saturday

I would have guessed the same as you. Oh well, it's kinda cute anyway.
This is too, too wonderful! I love it! I wish we had them in every state in front of every senator's house.
I'm sure that will be the most unique critter all day - wish they would stop politics time immemorial sigh

Denise,
This is just too great! Too much fun! I love the pig (front and back) and I love what it's standing for. I agree -- end the waste!
That is a riot! I would love to be in the right place at the right time to see that! Great shot!
What a cute way to get the "waste in government" point across.
You never know when something like this will come past. Good to always have the camera ready.
Definitely a unique sight. :)
