Friday afternoon was unseasonably warm so I took advantage of the weather for a walk at the NC Museum of Art's Park.
The seating arrangements at an art park can be somewhat unusual.
If you aren't Peter Pan with the ability to fly up to the chairs there are a few on the ground.
I like to photograph the gyre shown below from different perspectives.
I think the Crossroad Trickster I below looks like a huge ear of corn.
The wind machine below is another work I'll show from a different perspective later in this post.
Below the gyre is shown from a different view point.
Next is a work entitled Collapse I.
Below is another view of the same work.
I love the vivid red berries in contrast to the winter tans and browns.
There were a lot of cyclist taking advantage of the warm afternoon.
There were a few geese and ducks on the pond.
It's nice to be able walk outdoors as well as inside of the museum.
Below you can see the environmental plan of the museum and park.
The text from a sign that I photographed explains how water is collected, used, and pollutants removed.
Next is another shot of the gyre from a different part of the walk I took.
Below is another view of the Wind Machine.
Most of the rest of the shots are closer to the museum.
I went inside the museum briefly to use the restroom facilities.
I was surprised to see Janis Joplin's porsche.
I like the way the flower child decorated car is in front of the sculpture I included two shots up.
The new addition to the museum has a lot of mirrors which I like.
There are several sculpture gardens and places to sit outside.
The sculpture below looks wind blown in a way.
It's beginning to look more and more like winter.
I always enjoy photographing the Rodin Sculpture Garden.
I used similar shots I took in the past on older posts but hopefully I'm not being too redundant.
I like the reflective pools that are part of several of the outdoor sculpture gardens.
The native grasses are tan and brown but part of the lawns are still green.
I prefer the native grasses with winter browns and tans and enjoy them as much in the fall and winter as I do in the growing seasons.
Winter has its own stark beauty.
