Fun With a Rock

Today Liz and Amy and Kathy and I went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  I haven't been here in a number of years because I always go to The Getty Center.  So this is Liz taking a photo that inclused her fingers.  What do you suppose she is up to?

So this is Amy and Liz doing something else with the subject at hand that Liz was photographing.

The thing that they were having fun with is called "Levitated Mass" by the artist Michael Heizer.  It is a 340 ton boulder which sits on top of a 456 foot long concrete slot in the ground that goes downhill until you are under the boulder then it comes back up to ground level.  It is amazing to stand under that boulder and think about its weight and then hope that the boulder stays up there while you are underneath.  It is an amazing thing to contemplate, and then to have fun photographing.  This last photograph gives some sense of scale.  It is a BIG rock!
