"There are a lot of tiger statues around the perimeter of Comerica Park in Detroit. Given the neighborhood the ballpark is in, I’m pretty sure they’re there for protection".

south african artist marco cianfanelli has constructed a monument to recognize the 50 year anniversary of peace activist and politician nelson mandela’s capture by the apartheid police in 1962. mandela’s profile spans 50 steel columns measuring 21.32 and 29.52 feet (6.5 and 9 meters) high, each anchored to the concrete-covered ground. the shape and form of the sculpture are representative of the leader’s 27 years behind bars for his efforts to bring equal rights and governmental representation to the once racially divided nation. the statue of the nobel prize winner has been erected in howick, a town located 56 miles (90 kilometers) south from the city of durban in the countryside of the southernmost african country.

Junk-Culture
Artist Transforms Chain-link fence into a Statue of Shimmering Lights

American artist Soo Sunny Park recently created a gorgeous sculpture, called "Unwoven Light", constructed from sections of chain link fencing whose joints have been connected to create a wave-like form studded with thousands of iridescent Plexiglas pieces. Speaking about the project Park says, “We don’t notice light when looking so much as we notice the things light allows us to see. Unwoven Light captures light and causes it to reveal itself, through colorful reflections and refractions on the installation’s surfaces and on the gallery floor and walls.” - See more at: http://www.junk-culture.com/2013_05_01_archive.html#sthash.OPO8qgJe.dpuf​

Love the light sculpture Lara. For some reason, it reminds me of the ocean. Free flowing creatures below the waves. Such sensuous shapes.

I see that Shalimar! You have such a poetic way of expressing it. Here are some other angles and lighting:

Cool video. I can also see an angel patting a fish in the ocean.

This statue of Howard Dill (aka The Pumpkin King) stands at an intersection in the town of Windsor, Nova Scotia. Howard Dill carved out (no pun intended!) an international reputation for himself as a grower of record-breaking pumpkins by winning 4 consecutive world titles - the first of his award-winners weighing in at 400 lbs.
