    1. Can you believe it's metal?? It's formed to look like rock, yet the top has this amazing metallic lace-effect... And it's huge - maybe 20ft high...
      It rises up as you enter the park :)

    2. WOW ~ METAL! I never would have guessed that. I loved the lacy top, and the base really looked like stone. GREAT piece.

    1. Exactly, Wendy!
      I wrote in my journal the day after that while it exhausted me (took 2 days to recover), it was so worth it - gathering all the golden-lit memories... *sigh*
