Olympic Sculpture Park

Today, with fellow CS buddy, went to get cultured at the Olympic Sculpture Park. Have been wanting to go here quite some time. And what better day to go than on a nice sunny day that wasn't too hot.

So this park is where a bunch of sculptures are put out in the open and each piece has a short description of it. The coolest one I thought was this one called "Love and Loss". Don't have the pictures yet (you can see it on the SAM's website), but it was really cool. The description describing the piece was very insightful, and it was one of the few that I actually saw what the artist was trying to do!

There was another one at the beginning of the path that was a blue trumpet/sewer thingy of sort. Being the kids we were, we each took one end of the trumpet and tried to speak into it to see if he other can hear. Turns out you are able to hear it... not through opening, but just because the two ends were not really too far away...lol. After our wonderful demonstration, a little kid who was watching us decided to do the same... hahaha. 5 minutes later, the kid was still going at it... what good role models we are!

Another one that I thought was pretty cool was this one that was suppose to have the idea of 'empty being solid, and solid being empty'. The solid part was made of mirrors so that it reflected the surroundings... which I guess was the solid being empty part. But I wasn't really able to see the 'empty becomes solid' part though. Nevertheless, I thought this one looked pretty cool too.

After getting cultured, we were led to Tiger Mountain to find a park. You may ask, a park in a mountain... wtf?!?!?! My sentiments exactly! Gullible me went, and 10 minutes into the slugs and bugs trail, we turned back because there really didn't seem like a park would be there. So we ended up going to a nearby place where we were sure there was a park.

Also got to play Wii Fit today. Was told I am 35 yrs old, underweight, and that my balance is slightly off to the left.... hrm... there may be some truth in that!
