Living Memorial Sculpture Garden
Just a few miles north of Weed California on Highway 97 is the Living Memorial Sculpture Garden. It’s a tribute to all who have served. The sculptures are all made of metal by sculptor Dennis Smith. While this isn’t the forum to tell it’s meaning and history I urge you to go to https://www.lmsgarden.org/ to get a better understanding. I was very moved by the whole experience, much more than I had anticipated. The first image is of ‘The Nurses’ the second is of the hand of the person being carried. These sculptures were very expressive. I converted them to black and white to emphasize the sculpture and not the background.

Die ganze Erfahrung hat mich sehr bewegt, viel mehr als ich erwartet hatte. Das erste Bild zeigt ‘The Nurses’, das zweite zeigt die Hand der Person, die getragen wird. Diese Skulpturen waren sehr ausdrucksstark. Ich habe sie in Schwarzweiß umgewandelt, um die Skulptur und nicht den Hintergrund hervorzuheben.

Natural Bridge
David and I hiked about a mile down to a cave called “Natural Bridge” in central California. A creek is running through the cave and water was dripping from the ceiling of the cave.
Enjoy!

Dogs
I heard that some of you went for a street photography excursion. What a pity I could not come along. But here is one of my own favorites, from the US, August 1st, 2014. People sit on a hill in gold medal park above the banks of the Mississippi in downtown Minneapolis to enjoy the sunset. The name of the park is a reminder of the history of the place: the banks of the river were lined with flower mills. The Gold Medal mill in the background was converted into a museum. In between the landing of the Guthrie Theater stretches out towards the river. The owner of the two manicured dogs leaves just as the sun is setting behind the theater
