Robert Morris Observatory #5, Middle Visor

Posted by Jaap (Heerenveen, Netherlands) on 1 March 2010 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

The Observatory is a piece of landart created by Robert Morris. Location Flevoland in The Netherlands. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Morris_(artist) and http://www.depaviljoens.nl/page/374/en.

Last sunday when the pictures were taken, it was still freezing and there was a heavy fog, giving a special effect and isolating the subject from the surrounding area.

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

This must be a shot deeper inside. I will have to look for an aerial view to see the whole configuration. Your photos are so artful I am getting lost ;)

Nous continuons notre approche de cet étrange monument... Il y a une ambiance quelque peu irréelle...
