Tomorrow Bright Before Us

I've always loved this sculpture, "Flame" by Lin Emery.

It lives in front of the Lawrence City Hall.

According to the artist, it was "inspired" by a quote from Langston Hughes (a Lawrence-ite),

"We have tomorrow
Bright before us
Like a flame."

Plus, it's just plain photogenic. Especially with a perfectly clear blue fall sky behind it.

It moves in the wind, and I got a bunch of shots of it to show some of the movement.

From some angles, it looks more like some kind of insect... :)

No Wind...

This sculpture is at the Topeka library. It's designed to move and has lights placed around it. I got it moving by blowing on it.

And here's an odd picture of the huge moon I took on the way home:
