SEVEN SUNS from Southwest Pottery
A collage of seven garden-sculpture suns, photographed separately, then combined in a poster.
How the Seven Suns constellation came to be:
The suns were extracted from a photo of the back wall at Southwest Pottery.
Southwest Pottery, in Mesa, Arizona, sells colorful ceramic items and metal sculptures.
Their sprawling outdoor lot is huge.
Their sprawling outdoor lot goes on forever.
Only a space this astronomically large could hold so many suns. (Makes sense if you think about it.)
Besides pottery, they have many animal sculptures. Most, like the giraffes in the background, are quite large.
Rings of metal-art cacti encircle herds of metal-art animals, both real and mythical.
A thick wall of multi-colored flowers keeps these metallic beasts contained. In the foreground, a trio of spiky iguanas march single file.
A half-dozen large ceramic frogs bask in the blazing hot sun, surprisingly, without croaking.
What an amazing array, Ned. Thanks so much for documenting. As usual, you make me LOL with the sentence: ceramic frogs basking in the sun, surprisingly, without croaking. I’m glad you got to make the trip and I hope you’re feeling physically somewhat better. Hugs….
Thank you, Jennie! Making you LOL is what I live for.
Slowly recovering, finally able to travel a bit, felt wonderful. Hugs back atcha.
Really cool poster design, Ned! Hope you’re doing well.
Thanks, Bob, all is well.
