Since we were out that way---sort of---coming back from Lone Elk Park---I suggested we go to Laumeier Sculpture Park. This is another place I've only been to a few times, but now that we're "tourists" in St. Louis, there's a lot of places to go see again! This was Ken's first time here. I'll say he wasn't impressed. It is definately a different kind of park!!! But it was a pretty afternoon and a nice place to take a stroll.
105-acre open-air museum and sculpture park located near St. Louis and is maintained by the St. Louis Parks and Recreation Center. It houses over 60 outdoor sculptures and features a 1.4-mile walking trail, and educational programs.

" Jene Highstein's Ada’s Will, 1990, has the somewhat menacing first-impression look of, perhaps, a projectile. Then, it is seen to be not airfoil-sleek, not quite symmetrical, not a representation of anything nor yet an abstraction. Its concrete is troweled with irregular thickness onto a steel armature—a darkly enigmatic presence with fleeting associations."
