"Perseverance"

That is the name of this sculpture which I saw at the Vermont Welcome Center on the way to the convention. It is made from a metal band from an 1800's wagon wheel, and pieces of slate that came from a slate roof about the same time. It is a really interesting object to study, with the different textures, and the sensuous curves that bisect the circle. I spent a fair amount of time studying this, and then figuring how to photograph it. I elected to crop part of the sculpture out of the picture, because the picture is not just about the sculpture.

  1. Very nice. The red geraniums really make the wheel stand out.
