City Garden

A few days ago, I took my niece to the City Garden.

First, we visited the Richard Serra sculpture.  Sam had told me how much he loves this sculpture.  From the exterior, it doesn't appear to offer much.  However, the real treat is when you enter it.  It has this wonderful echo and unique view of the city.  My niece loved it.




Unfortunately, a fair amount of St. Louis citizens oppose this work of art-- as displayed by this vandalism:  

"GET RID OF THIS"


From 10th street and Market, the first sculptures my niece noticed was Tom Claassen's bunny sculptures.



She couldn't get enough of these, and only climbed off once to pet a dog.



She thought Mark Di Suvero's sculpture was a slide, and insisted on climbing it.



Among all the other water sculptures, she particularly liked the waterfall. 



As the sun was setting, we made our way to dinner, and I snapped this incredible view of the City Museum:
