Who knows. <br /><br />It definitely would have been fun to see the Gardens in its prime, as one can observe the remains of many light sockets incorporated into many of the sculptures, that, presumably, provided up-close nighttime illumination.<br /><br />@ Scott Lane-<br /><br />Is that something like 'ginchiest'-??<br /><br />@ TM!-<br /><br />From what's been written in the papers, it doesn't sound very promising for a real re-opening - but one never knows.<br /><br />@ Chuck-<br /><br />Again, who knows exactly the inspiration for that building; but most indications describe it as Independence Hall. But all the handiwork on the grounds is pretty spectacular, in spite of the present condition.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-21179226684007812432017-08-29T07:42:31.885-07:002017-08-29T07:42:31.885-07:00That building above the flag looks to me more like...That building above the flag looks to me more like the <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/The_Utah_State_Capitol_in_May_2008.jpg" rel="nofollow">Utah State Capitol</a> than anything else, but it may be nothing more than a generic representation of a legislative building in the ubiquitous American Neoclassical style. Whatever it's supposed to be, it's pretty cool.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these, Steve - this is a real hidden gem!Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49440131220948159592017-08-29T07:01:51.496-07:002017-08-29T07:01:51.496-07:00What a neat little roadside attraction!

This is the kind of place I'd love to visit. I like that the creations are hand made and personal and had meaning for the man who built them.<br /><br />I'm not sure if that's Tower Bridge in pic#8 but I really like it. And in the same pic the structure on the pile of rocks is cool and the weathered tree beautiful. This is indeed an extra-special post today. Thank you, Steve.K.
