Variations on a Fence

Walking to the rear of the building, there was an unusual fence. It was made up of separate sections that were extremely diverse in style. There were two small gates that allowed access to smaller building in back.

Along the Driveway and Around the Corner

After finishing up on the right side of the driveway, I then swung to the left to view three brightly colored sculptures. I made my way around the corner of museum building to see more pieces.

Metal Museum

The grounds around the Metal Museum are filled with various forms of metal arts. I will begin with the front gates and work my to the Smithy in back. Some pieces had plaques with the titles and artists of works. Others did not. There’s so much to view along the way.

Final Photos of Veterans Plaza

And with these last few shots I concluded my walk in Veterans Plaza. The sun was beginning to set. It was time for me to get grab a bite to eat.

Bird Bath

From the Korean War Memorial I walked to the right. I came upon a columned pavilion with a birdbath. See below for shots as I walked around the columns.
