111: city layers


I was in the Square today and took a few shots from around this position. I guess what struck me the most was the 'layers' here- natural and human-made -right back to the glimpse of the ranges in the background. And overarching it all was a sky with clouds that perhaps herald a change in weather for Easter.

  1. I like this picture. You are right there are lots of layers. I am curious about that "rock" in the forefront.

  2. I would have to look at the base to check which sculptor did this one, but it is one of a group of ten. "These ten sculptures were fashioned from Taranaki andesite as part of the PRiME Sculpture millennium project." Andesite is a volcanic rock, coming in this case from the province of my birth.

  3. Don't worry about checking the sculptor. It looks like some kind of a deflated ball with a seam at the bottom. Interesting.

  5. Interesting and very different. I like this type of project that allows many artists to create and participate. It certainly allows more creativity than the cow project in Chicago or the moose project in Toronto. Thanks!
