The giant in the field

Last September, I was in Chicagoland and the neighbourhood with the missus. We made a trip to the Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park which is a collection of strange and beautiful esoterica. A few examples are below. The Park is part of the Governor's State Uni, a small 4 year school located a short drive south of Chicago. Most of the works are outdoor pieces which both confuse and impress.  worthwhile expedition, even if it was in the sweltering heat. We called ahead to ask for directions and the Park Director himself came out to meet us. He brought a couple of chilled water bottles for what was obviously a lunatic photographer and his long suffering wife.
