Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum, Austin, Texas
To strip human nature until its divine attributes are made clear,
to inform ordinary activities with spiritual fervor,
to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral;
to make divine things human and human things divine;
such is Bach, the g. Pablo Casals

beautiful!
Wow…he liked Bach…a lot! Great pic. Excellent angle and I like the cropping.
I like the words “garden” and “museum” in the name of the location. The place has to be fantastic.
amazing!
nice words. thank you.
Bach, the g.
Hmmm…
Of course this is on my list of must sees now. My list must be a mile long by now. I won’t live that long.
RYC the beach: Of course I got in! I played as long as my “father” let me. Poor thing, he just sat there watching me. It was a beautiful day and very different from McFaddin.
you must have had a great time in austin.
Somehow Alice and I missed this when we visited Austin on our Sister Trip.
i took a picture of a statue much like this one in salt lake city… but yours is better ~ jack
RYC: Ya, I couldn’t believe the colors, either. I was at the market and saw them and whipped out my camera. My friend was with me, she doesn’t even flinch anymore, she just chuckles at me. Earlier in the evening she let me take a picture of her sprained foot that is purple.
austin is very close!!

By the looks of that sculpture it’s a lot of work being divine.
