A walk through our local sculpture park. I've probably posted similar, but it's been a few years It's a mix of beautiful and macabre, as is fitting for our weird little city.
I bet that a lot of people in the Fediverse already know this very pretty pencil-based 3D art. But in case you haven’t, be prepared to marvel.
This sculpture is known as the hexastix and a variant series created by artist George Hart is titled 72 Pencils.
If you can get 72 unsharpened hexagonal pencils, and some flat rubber bands, you can attempt to create this. Search for a video by @standupmaths for a pseudo-tutorial.

Yesterday was a purrfect day to explore Anza Borrego State Park with @wobs. We covered a lot of ground in 12 hours door to door! So many shades of color and warm sunny air to soak in ❤️ The Galleta Meadows sculpture collection, overlook hike, twisty mountain drives, and a gorgeous moonrise into dusk! Julian Pie as our reward for getting back to the beach cat fort!!
My friend took this amazing picture of the Scorpion and Grasshopper metal sculptures at Galleta Meadows in Anza Borrego State Park. I had to reply to my earlier post from a recent trip out there and share-it's so cool! I hear the wild flowers are starting to pop now too ❤️
