One of about 10 dry-stacked rock sculptures in a secret sculpture garden.
Since we started this trail-themed blog, I have been amazed at how often I have stumbled upon something that seems to support the emerging theme. Remember the Shirky quote from Here Comes Everybody? (It’s sticky at the top of this blog.) Well, I returned to this quote after editing a video (taken with my phone on a walk). I was just thinking how lucky we are to have so many tools to express ourselves: “People now have access to myriad tools that let them share writing, images, video—any form of expressive content, in fact—and use that sharing as an anchor for community and cooperation” (103). We can produce and distribute layers upon layers of expressive content. Shriky writes, “People like to consume with media, of course, but they also like to produce it (‘Look what I made!’) and they like to share it (‘Look what I found!’)” (104)
So look at what I found: a hidden rock sculpture garden off the beaten path. And look what I made: it’s a sculpture.
