Mist fountain

I have showed you pictures from this artwork a while ago, but then the mist fountain wasn't operative yet. These seven meter high children's heads are the first thing you see when you leave the Leeuwarden train station. They were made by Spanish sculpturor Jaume Plensa (1955); he named it 'LOVE'.

A view from the other side with the train station in the background. As for the 'fountain', I think the effect that the mist gives is a bit minimal. When I passed it in the afternoon there was quite a lot of wind which made the mist hardly visible anymore. On the other hand, it's a nice and original work of art.

  3. Prachtig Marleen, je heb echt 'n neus met al dat zoeken van die aparte voorstellingen. Heel bijzonder. Groet Kees.

  4. Ja de mist is een beetje magertjes. Ik heb deze hoofden ook in het zwart gezien in Amsterdam tijdens de Art-Zuid tentoonstelling.
