From a distance, this looks like a real tree but, it's not. It sits along the side of the Symphony Hall building in downtown Phoenix. I hadn't paid much attention to it until the time I walked along the sidewalk that runs right next to it. It's not the usual approach I make when going to Symphony Hall.
There was no sign to say who the artist is but, I can tell you it's made of metal. You probably figured that out already.
From a distance (the distance of a virtual photo) it appears not unlike one of those dried up dandelions which, when you blow on them, disappear into the wind. :) But you're saying it would probably not be smart to grab this thing and try to climb it. Right? :)
ReplyDeleteI thought a dandelion too indeed, Very ingenious made from metal.
ReplyDeleteI have real trees make better art than that, could they not have done that instead of a fake tree
ReplyDeleteA deiicate dandelion seems to be the first image we associate with your photo today. Interesting it, isn't it, how captive we are to memories?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I wonder if it serves some purpose, like concealing an external speaker or light fixture or something? (Although there appears to be a light fixture right next to it...)
ReplyDeleteA big dandelion was my first thought too.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a bit of a shock to the birds that try to land on it.
ReplyDeleteI'm like everyone else who thought it was a dandelion! I guess a real tree wouldn't survive there!
ReplyDeleteI also thought dandelion.
ReplyDeleteI also thought dandelion.
ReplyDeleteI like it Sharon.. even more as it won't need watering through the summer months the 😉
