Still Somerville, Mass.

Trees can be strong

 

I was wondering about the meaning of this sculpture.

The woman standing on the left is looking at the man on the right

who has a friendly face looking down at the kneeling young man

who seems to stretch himself. Maybe I will find out one day.

From the city guide:

Also in 1996 bronze "masks" were added to the statues. Steven Post states, “the statues were meant to be ‘temporary’ in that they were not made of bronze. Vandals destroyed some of the faces of the statues over the years, so the artist and the city decided to replace the faces with the bronze ‘mask’ that the statues all now ‘wear’.”[4]

We arrived.....

in Somerville, Massachussetts, to visit our daughter and family.

Somerville is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States,

located two miles northwest of Boston.

and more inside with grandson

After two days of rest we made sightseeing in Boston.

It is of course the harbour where we went to.

I am in love with this photo.

We then walked on the Green way and saw an installation

By Janet Echelman. It is a net suspended

high above the ground - from skyscraper to skyscraper

hanging there like a very light and coloured cloud.

 

 

 

By night it must be gorgeous to see - it is

illuminated, floodlighted.

If you are interested look here - you will be delighted.
