Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park - II

Frederik Meijers Gardens
Dear friends and readers, let’s start our journey into the Sculpture Park.
We were adviced to take the “Park Train” driven by seniors who not only love but as well know art.
Very good guide we had.
All the Photos that follows are taken from the “train”.
The Parks is so large and with so many objects it is a great way to have an overview and then go back to the Sculptures you like the most.
S1 - Horse - wood 
Horse made from wreck wood found in a River
S3 Neuron Scuplture S2 - Neuron text
Neuron – made from stainless Steel – Click on the right photo to learn more
S4 - Just wood
Just Wood – but dancing – love this simple creativity and fantasy
S5 garden Tool
Wow, what is this? A secret Kitchen Garden. How great;-)
s6 - red and great 
Some people  on the “train” said this sculpture reminded them of a Kindergarden. What do you think?
s7 Spider in the woods 
See the Giant Spider? It’s safe it is fenced in;-)
s8 - Headless 
They are headless – we have learned they put their heads down in the Sand when frightened – but here in the Michigan Forests?
s9 Yellow
Yellow Fantasy – Happy Sculpture 
S91 Listening to History Sculpture s91 Listening to History Text
Listening to History. Who owns the Truth? Click on the photo up right to see the name of the Artist.
S92 - siiting down
Just sitting down and relaxing in the Nature
S93 Head etc in iron
Halloween in Iron or an alien? Go to Frederik Meijer Gardens to find out;-)
S94 Bridge
Suddenly a Red Rock Bridge - - -
s95 Air sculptures
On the Hill…
s96 Airy sculptures
… streching and dancing towards the Sky

Like the horse, the wood dancing and the spider! What a trip you did this summer with Anna!!! You will come in Provence and relax tasting the different olives, anchoïade, tapenade and other specialities!

If we ever go to Michigan, this park could be on the visiting list indeed.... So fun and creative, all of the sculptures. I love when not knowing how next sculpture will look! The wooden dancer is a favorite of mine!
