playtime along the estuary

This family was having a great time playing on the the sculptures at Arrowhead Marsh at MLK Jr. Shoreline Park.  The metal for the sculptures looks like it came from a mothballed boat or ship.  Don't know for sure but I like the idea.

  2. My impression is of an alien space craft having crashed to earth.

  3. They do draw the attention, and yes, I'm reminded of ship hulls.

  4. My friend Mike would say I should leave the mystery and encourage ontology, but... the sculpture is called Duplex Cone. On the winter solstice, the sun follows along the edge of the smaller cone. On the summer solstice, the sun follows along the edge of the larger cone. http://oaklandwiki.org/Duplex_Cone
