A huge, rectangular boulder was suspended in the Y of a tree, a group of ghostly white figures circled a tree at the edge of a creek, a horse made of willow pranced through the azaleas, and a mirrored egg reflected the clouds, …
As we have been traveling around Europe this last year we’ve seen a lot of interesting and inspiring cultural attractions.
