The Iron Tree

The tree of life sculpture at the Toledo Botanical Garden - one of my favorite sculptures in the garden. It's three dimensional - almost like a puzzle piece. As you approach the sculpture, the tree changes shape and form as you perceive the two structures from different directions and distances. As with the tree of life, and how you perceive its meaning. To me, the tree of life represents unity.

This Monochrome concept came from Aileni at The Monochrome Weekend

  7. You captured it perfectly! It's all about the angle with that sculpture and it normally defeats me - great job!

  10. What a great idea for a sculpture in a park. Your photo is great. At first I thought it was some technique (I was trying to figure out what!) until I read that it was a sculpture.
