<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They skipped a year, but Art in the Park is Back! Not as many pieces as previous years. The park is being renovated and a large area is cordoned off for refurbishing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As usual, many fun sculptures to see and photograph. Enjoy.</span><br />

Forty and Twenty years ago I went to the Grand Canyon. This Spring I was time to go again. In 1992 Leona and I drove out and Hiked the Bright Angel Trail to Indian Gardens. In 1972 I went out west for 11 weeks and hiked all the way to the Colorado River on the same trail and spent the night under many stars. This time we flew to Phoenix and rented an RV seeing many Ruins and Museums in three states. Neither of us hiked the Bright Angel Trail this time.

Absolutely fantastic. PHotos do not do it justice, but a did take a few, since unlike many special exhibits at the MFA, Dan Chihuly actually encourages visitors to make images of his art work. If you like what you see in my Gallery, do go see his work in real life. It will be worth the effort.<br />

Leona and I discovered this place through the New England Photo Expeditions' Meetup listings. There are 59 sculptures plus on many trails and old sky slopes. They were executed by artists from all over the world who came there to sculpt them.<br />
<br />
We only saw a small portion of them, some seven or so. The one at the left (a detail) is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><i>Five Dimensions and Counting</i> by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">David Phillips a Massachusetts artist.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">This is a site to be seen over a couple days or more or in several trips. More at my gallery at the title link.</span><br />

Carr. At left is <i>Peplum. </i>From the Map flyer, "Draped and elegant, <i>Peplum</i> is made of burlap, steel, resin and wood. The word <i>Peplum</i> originates in the ancient Greek word <i>peplos</i> or tunic, whose style has evolved to draping or pleating at the waist. Here the draping is dramatic and rich in texture." To see the other seven and other recent images from Blithewold, click on the title link. At the Arboretum through October 3, 2010.<br />

Water Fire. Lots of music, people and fire on the water in large sconces.<br />
<br />
Plenty of good food, including desserts, and street entertainers, as well. Way more action than one can see in one evening's viewing, so worth a return trip! There are also Venetian style oared gondola rides on the river as well as other touring boats. Lots of images to see at my gallery at SmugMug.<br />
