Nathan Logsdon’s maintenance-free-steel sculpture, “Taking Flight,” was inspired by a Classical Greek interpretation of an acanthus leaf. It sits near the intersection of Brockenbraugh Court and Veterans Boulevard. The rust color is intentional according to the artist.
Now back at the sculpture I circled around it photographing different points of view. It was difficult to avoid the commercial buildings in the background. I was more interested in capturing the clear blue sky.
Again I traveled to the other end of the space to take photos of the landscaping. I appreciated the shade there too. And having explored the far ends, I returned to the middle where the sculpture sits.
Moving west from the “Family Gras” sculpture is another new work called “Taking Flight.” The landscaping is similar to the other spaces along Veterans Boulevard. The shade was welcome.
