like living in a salvador dali painting

That is my photo. I was there.
It's a REAL place.

I had a really fun weekend last weekend. It was one of those three day weekends that felt more like a two week vacation. I love when that happens. (I take pride in my work and work hard while I am at the office; I just really value and appreciate my play time too.) I had to drive up to western Massachusetts for a reason I will discuss in my next post, but instead of taking Interstate 95 to Interstate 91, I decided to take the Taconic Parkway to Interstate 90. At the top of the parkway there is a huge statue of a head atop a large hill to the east. I have driven by the big head many times and felt the need to see it up close. I searched for the sculpture park online and called to make sure it was open. It was a few miles off the parkway, but it was well worth it. 

At the end of a very long dirt road, lies Taconic Sculpture Park. There are sculptures there ranging from suns and large heads, to ribbon-like structures and patterned masses. It is very impressive. I was floored when I pulled up. The artist, Roy Kanwit, lives on the property in a dwelling that looks more like a sculpture than a house. It is amazing and surreal. You can actually get inside the largest head on the property and climb a ladder up to a hole. If you are brave enough to stick your head up, you will be met with a breathtaking view, as you look out over the western mountains of New York and the Hudson Valley. If you are in the area, make a detour and stop by. Click here to visit the website.
