Citygarden: Steel and Water

.
One of the many pools and streams in Citygarden, facing part of 2 Arcs X 4, 230.5 Degree Arc X 5 by Bernar Venet. Venet believes that art should not be the expression of the artist. Rather, the concept or idea is most important. Much of his recent work is based on mathematical graphs or formulas. Does that satisfy your aesthetic sense?

Note the people wading. It's part of the concept.

Great shot, Bob! The sky background in the first pic is amazing. Sorry it's been so long since I commented. Still enjoy the Thursday Arch series, too.
