    Oh man, you have so much real world class sculptures there at once. The location isn´t that bad either. You are so lucky. Michel LeGrands blue one was my favourite of these.

    These are insane. I so have to get into action and see it for myself. My family and I made the trek last year and we certainly weren't disappointed. Amazing stuff. Great shots. Pruxxx

    They are cool looking sculptures. It must have been nice to walk along and see them all by the sea.

    Red Nomad OZ, it's a temporary installation for about three weeks and they have different exhibits every year.

    Great shots, especially the first one.

    I noted your query about covered bridges/ They were built to protect the bridges from the weight of massive snowfalls. The angle of the roofs allows the snow to slide into the river rather than make the bridge impassable or unstable/

    Thanks Arija. I thought that might have been the reason for them but didn't know for sure.

    Really enjoyed this blogging experience!
