This past weekend, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary (I know, we're getting up there!) by visiting Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, New York. Even though the weather was gloomy, it added to the experience. Storm King Art Center is located on 500 acres of land, with massive sculpture installations sprinkled throughout. It was impossible to see every installation, but the ones we did see were breathtaking. It wasn't unusual to see large metal objects in the middle of the woods, which may sound out of place, but somehow these massive contemporary structures seemed to live just as naturally as the trees around them.
My favorite had to have been the "Three-Legged Buddha" by artist Zhang Huan (pic #3, above; left, video). The rain added such a beautiful element to the sculpture, as it made it look like the sculpture's face was strewn with tears.
