An Expedition to Storm King

Storm King is a collection of outdoor sculptures over about 450 acres north of New York City about 60 miles. We took a bus from the New York Port Authority (which is another story in and of itself) that took this route:

I was lucky enough to have a nice new cap from Stetson:

It is hard to describe the setting of the art. It is in the Hudson River Valley, and very pretty. It would be fantastic to be there in the fall, when all the trees are turning colors.

There was a lot of art, and a lot of different types of art.

Fountains:

Columns

HUGE steel structures, some of which moved:

Stuff that looked like wet sand art:

More HUGE steel structures: 

Dry set stone walls. It doesn't look like much here, but just wait. (Doreen didn't want me to touch the wall. But it was a wall)

Landscape art. Forgive the motion. It is Land Waves by Maya Lin (the architech who did the Vietnam War Memorial) 

This is better:

You can see how the wall weaves amongst the trees here:

This is a three legged Buddha standing on his own head.

For scale:

I was enchanted by this piece:

that you could sit in. I was telling some kid outside that he had to pay $20 to get in. (he didn't)

This is a beetle:

More big art:

Here I am, recreating art:

I loved this piece as well. Mirrored Fence:

Cool!

I was holding up this piece for a while:

Doreen did it via levitation:

This piece was supposed to look like waving seaweed. It did.

Here we are, resting:

And finally, going home.

We were very tired when we got home.

It was a good trip.
