Anton Smit Sculpture Park

For three months now I have been planning to go out to the sculpture park. Every weekend there's some excuse, or it's raining, or ...

Eventually last Sunday we went through. A lovely drive out on the R25, farms and fields and little villages.
I missed the park and drove into an estate from which I could see the Bronkhorstspruit Dam, then back along the route to discover the road to the park was right there.

A lot of the sculptures are scattered around the garden, well laid out in parts and left natural in others. There is a gallery as well, and in the one area Anton's sculptures are displayed with some of Lionel's artwork. Father and son.

On the property is a venue for weddings and parties, I suppose, and the Imagine Cafe. Had scones and rooibos tea under a big tree in the courtyard. Lovely.

Worshipping the sun

Anton Smit has a sculpture park in Bronkhorstspruit, which is on my to-do list. But I saw on his Facebook page that he was invited to do installations of his artwork at the new Menlyn Maine mall, so I went there instead. I loved his work but wished I could remove the building and cars so they could be viewed against the magnificent sky. It was difficult to photograph them without the clutter of the surroundings.
