However, when I lived in Colorado, I felt like that many of the touched parts could have filled better. One of the nice aspects about living in a small town in New England is that the original old parts of the town were touched well.

I wish the wild southwest had more untouched space, and the touched parts filled better! The sculptures and their settings all seem to sing out, on even a dull day.Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-55117789009901702012012-04-04T03:05:40.032-07:002012-04-04T03:05:40.032-07:00Les,

We came across something like that in the street at an entrance to the High Line. I should post about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771120380247636617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-10748293772687170682012-04-03T19:16:13.126-07:002012-04-03T19:16:13.126-07:00We spent the better part of a day at MOMA in 2010 ...We spent the better part of a day at MOMA in 2010 and had lunch in the sculpture garden. Yoko Ono had a project going on inside and outside, and she was encouraging people to attach their wishes written on small pieces of paper to several trees in the courtyard. I think they were some sort of weeping pussywillow. There must of been thousands of small wishes tied to the tree and I loved seeing so many different hands, languages and alphabets.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-12197759625709876932012-04-02T15:47:59.822-07:002012-04-02T15:47:59.822-07:00Joe,

Ro...Joe,<br />I agree, the beech trees are really nice.<br /><br />Robert,<br />I thought the same thing about the ground cover. I think they might use some generic Impatiens in the summer. More interesting choices for both seasons would compliment the world class sculpture! How about some world class horticulture to go with that Picasso? Looking at gardens in all four seasons is always helpful, especially here in New Hampshire.

But I see that even a sculpture garden has plants!<br />Love it. u r dead right about the importance of plant selection and how the trees sing out in their winter grace. I wasn't that sure about the ground cover. Was it ivy. It didn't look that happy. But minor caveat a real and really well used oasis!<br />Best<br />RRobert Webberhttp://www.hegartywebberpartnership.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-48440725548235837502012-04-02T09:16:06.986-07:002012-04-02T09:16:06.986-07:00The sculptures are wonderful, Michael.

I tend to think "I will get around to it" when I have lived near interesting landmarks.For instance, I grew up outside Philadelphia and didn't see the Liberty Bell until I was 26 and The Man in the Mountain's face fell off before I had a chance to see it in my first 15 years in NH. Maybe you should drop in at the MOMA sometime!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771120380247636617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-4346463496788766782012-03-31T15:48:11.643-07:002012-03-31T15:48:11.643-07:00Lovely post, Michael.
