The "Times Square Kiss" statue made a stop in Palm Desert on Thursday, delighting viewers.

A realistic version of San Diego's "Unconditional Surrender" statue (based on the iconic "Times Square Kiss" Life Magazine photo) stopped in Palm Desert on Thursday.  The stop was part of a national tour for the 6-foot tall statue, ending on Father's Day in San Diego.

The statue was created by sculptor Seward Johnson, also known for his "Forever Marilyn" statue, now residing in Palm Springs.
