Sunset Beach Macro 30a June 19 2012

Pacific Weathered Heavy Metal - Macro Detail

One of my favorites of the Vancouver Biennale pieces remains the "217.5 Arc x 13'" sculpture by France's Bernar Vernet. Perfectly position on one of the sand berms on Sunset Beach (this photo is geo-tag to 1m accurate). And, as temporal luck would have it, this superb piece of modern art became a legacy work in 2007. In other words it's here for the duration.

This is a detail shot of the iron in the sculpture as it very gracefully ages in the primordial moistness that is the wet , ... errr, west coast 270 days or so per year.
