I don't normally photograph the works of art when I visit museums and I rarely engage with them beyond looking at them briefly and walking away. I have never engaged with an artwork as long or intensely as I have with John Safer's sculpture, Pathway, at the entrance to the Dayton Art Institute. Pathway is an immense stainless steel cork-screw of a sculpture that pays tribute to Dayton aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. The day was beautiful and the reflections of the sky, the grass and the buildings in the sculpture were entrancing. I didn't have a wide-angle lens, so had to "settle" for photographing "slices" of the piece. In processing the photos, I was struck by the abstract shapes that linked earth and sky in the piece. Here are three of my "slices" of Mr. Safer's sculpture. It feels a bit as if he purposely designed it with an open invitation for us to collaborate with him.

The paths through the exhibits are natural, and there is a lot of lovely foliage.
A pathway just inside the entrance to the Dow Gardens in Midland, Michigan. The gardens were created by Herbert H. Dow who was the founder of the Dow Chemical Company. He believed that the garden designer should never reveal the whole garden in one view. www.dowgardens.org/#!about-us-/c1k74
Two men in a canoe pull in to have a picnic in the shade of Cloncurry Bridge on a hot summer day. As you can see they have a long stretch of Royal Canal ahead of them!
vem a solidão
comigo pelo caminho.
já seremos dois.

Not that I'm a religious man, but my Mother who died on Monday was a believer. So this image pretty much sums up the journey I feel she has taken this week.
