Thirteen

I found another of the Minnesota Rocks. It took a little googling and some google mapping, but I was able to locate the 13th of the 15 original sculptures. This one is outside the city limits of St Paul, in St Anthony Village, in Salo Park. Salo Park is new and located at 39th and Harding in a new development near Silver Lake. The artist is a Finnish guy, Sakari Peltola. He calls the sculpture "The Weatherman." It's a sculpture in two parts separated by at least twenty feet. Public art.


More tennis tonight, too. We played inside, beginning Thursday night mixed doubles at Wooddale. We had three active, fairly well played tennis and it was quite a bit of fun. The area mixed doubles tournament begins Saturday at Read Sweatt Tennis Center. I am scheduled to play three matches and if we win them, probably a fourth. I expect that any blogging this weekend will be tennis-centric.

Excellent find, great rocks. Nice angle for the photo. Public art was a subject on another blog I read this week, and she especially liked art that fit or even enhanced its setting. I'd say that most of the Minnesota Rocks series qualify.

It is a tennis blog, after all. Tennis centric is to be expected. Good luck in the tournament. SS
