A trifecta: the NJ counties of Hudson & Bergen plus the County of New York. Which, if you’re curious, sits in the city of NY and the state of NY, so I guess it’s kind of a trifecta in its own way too. Hmm…
We’ve shown you photos from this flight once before. It took a bit less than an hour to go from the flat green fields of NL to these shots of the alps as seen from above. Pretty sure these are mostly over Switzerland, and still pretty sure the lake below is more of Lago Maggiore, which means some of the southernmost parts are Italy. Sorry for the reflections in some of these; I just love seeing the map come alive to my eyes :-).
The remarkable work of art shown in this post is called “Jarden d’Email,” or “Enamel Garden” in English. It’s a 1974 creation by Jean Dubuffet, who clearly created it entirely as a site-specific work. Calling it a sculpture feels weak, because it feels like so much more. Even with all my wonderful experiences dating back the 1980s at Storm King, this particular, truly wonderful creation really took my imagination to new places. I visited it each of the three days on which I entered the museum & park.
(so much world, so little time....)
