Art, Outside

No, it's not outsider art, but it IS outside!
The Grandmother Tree
Just go a little north of the East Drake Water Treatment Facility in Fort Collins. Of course, Roadside Mysteries will go to the ends of the earth (if not Larimer County) to find this stuff for you!

The Kingfisher Tor
It's an experimental sculpture for kingfishers to nest in.


Bird Island
This sculpture should be surrounded by water, but it's kind of dry in No. Colorado, you know.

Batbeast
Here, copper plumbing pipes make up this roost for bats!


The Blind!
When I first rode up to this structure, I thought it was a hobo camp! But no, it' actually a blind; People can lurk inside this structure and peer at wildlife! This is all part of a scheme of trans-species art and sculpture for wildlife created by environmental artist Lynne Hull. In September last year we met Ms. Hull at the Green Art and Climate Change seminar. Hmmm, Trans-Species Art; Lynne Hull invented it, maybe we will try to look for other examples in the future.
