2011 week 14

            spoonbridge and cherry

Daylight savings means that there is now an opportunity to go and explore after a hard days work. In this case I chose the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden whilst working in the United States.

This sculpture is called 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' and has become one on most well known symbols of the city. Designed by husband and wife Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, it is actually a water scupture in the summer - the cherry glistens as water flows over it's surface and a fine mist rises from its stem.

(for a dumbfunk sense of scale it's over 50 feet long and 30 feet high)

Taken in: United States / Minnesota / Minneapolis / Lowry Hill (show map)
