Irrigation and Showing Off
Glendale Arizona is a sizable city located adjacent to Phoenix in the northwest valley. At the Glendale Main public library stands this sculpture commemorating the agricultural history of the city of Glendale. Irrigation played a key role in agriculture in the desert and still does to this very day. This sculpture shows the people using the short hoses that would siphon water from canals and into the fields. The sculpture was created by Debbie Gessner.
If you are walking around the library grounds you will also likely see a few peacocks who roam the area. This one was a bit of a show off.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. Take a look at the gorgeous architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
