I believe I wrote about this park before but today my sister went there because she had not been there before. No matter how many times I go back to this park, it is always captivating.
We walked around the park and sat on one of the benchs in the mid-day breeze. It is not until you sit motionless that you really realize the uniqueness of each individual moving part. Even within one sculpture there are parts moving both clockwise and counterclockwise.
We then walked across the street to the Whirligig Museum that contains parts that were formerly a part of the park along with souvenirs bearing pictures of the park.
Adjacent to the museum was a photography museum that contained not only photographs but quite a few large format cameras and a display of camers through the aged.
Our outing was topped off with a sweet from our favorite doughnut shop. A great way to spend a Saturday.
Get out and explore your neighboring cities. You might be surprised at the unique things you will find.
