Art in Nature : Nature in Art


Found this amazing sculpture of the Singing Trees in Vail last week at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.

These trees were killed by the lodgepole pine beetle that has devastated many pines here in CO. The artists (Ben Roth, sculpture designer, and Brad Watsabaugh, creator) dissected the trees longitudinally from the top down with chainsaws, creating benches with the remaining half of the split trees.

It's done!




A few "after" shots of our summer project.

It's been done for two weeks, but I'm finally getting some pictures taken.

Definitely a great place to enjoy the great Colorado summer evenings!
