this is a huge new sculpture in the decordova museum in lincoln, not too far from boston. i cant count how often we have been here by now; its such a great museum! there is a large sculpture park, and inside the museum are ever changing exhibitions of modern art. sometimes i dont like them at all, sometimes its ok, and sometimes its great! the sculpture park is always great; the grounds are so beautiful, even without the sculptures. it used to be free entrance with your bank of america card every first weekend in the month, but not anymore, unfortunately. but now its free every first wednesday of the month, and its always free if you come by bike (how nice is that?!).
the above sculpture is named lincoln, and was made specifically for the site by dewitt godfrey. here you can read more about it, and see it from another angle; i guess we have seen it 2 or 3 times now, and with the light and all i really had a hard time taking a picture i liked. i settled for this one because of the little boy; it also shows how huge it is! (you can walk through a few of the bubbles).
this was last saturday when the weather was really great. today it was quite chilly... and this weekends forecast does not look too good, colder weather is really coming our way...

Amazing sculpture! It certainly doesn't look easy to capture. But the little boy does add nicely to the perspective. It's huge, isn't it?
At first sight I hadn't noticed it was so big. It is amazing and matches so well with the landscape.
I haven't been to the decordova museum in this century, but I thought it was special when I did see it. Museum with frequently refreshed exhibitions make it worth while going back again and again.
Maybe this is called lincoln because the museum is in Lincoln, Massachusetts.
I also hadn't noticed how big this sculpture was until I read about the boy. What a great sculpture, must be impressive when you see it in real!
