I think one of the things I remember most from my childhood is walks to the lake with my dad, and that photo takes me back to those days. So beautiful!

I think the biggest problem is that it takes an open mind; plus art, especially earth art, needs to be experienced first hand to be truly appreciated.

I am bananas about any kind of public art, and using natural materials as a canvas is a really interesting idea. It seems kind of primal and sacred somehow. Great pics, too.
