Linda,
That's an amazing structure. Thanks for the photos.
You might be interested in seeing the sundial that a friend and I built a couple of years ago. We
incorporated ceramic shards (this is what happens to my seconds) into the design:

farm neighbours had blown out my driveway with his tractor. It's nice living here.

There is a new bridge in Redding, California that those who are driving north to NCECA ought to make a side trip to see. It's the Sundial pedestrian bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava.
I was watching a KQED documentary about its construction and an engineer who was interviewed said something like the following:
It's a good thing there are artists. If there weren't artists then all the structures would be built by engineers like me and everything would be boxy, straight, efficient, and boring.
Whaddya know! An enlightened engineer. Unfortunately, not all of Redding's citizens were as happy. Quote from a Redding resident, "It's not Redding." Amen sister.
Here's a link to photos:

Dear Linda,
Nice idea. Sounds fascinating. Hope other folks will be able to take a side trip. If I drive from Redondo Beach, it's going to be one of those - start out after work on Tuesday, (a) drive till I'm tired, (b)pull over and rest for 15 min to an hour, a, b, a b, a etc. type trips. That's what I did when I drove across the country earlier this year. OK, so I did stop for a few days in Dallas to visit my sister, but the drive and rest driving is what I did before and after Dallas. On that trip, I did take one side trip - I stopped for an hour in LV and met ClayArt Phil. But I won't have time to take side trips on the way to NCECA and back - work on Tuesday and back to work early Monday morning.
