Okay, okay. I know I skipped a month of blogging. Recuperating my eyeball and life gets in the way. When I scanned my pictures recently I found photos of the fabulous time I had Griffis Sculpture Park and I never wrote about it!
This will be short and sweet as I have another adventure I want to write about! (Sneak peek- Guess where this picture was taken!)
My day hikes group took a NIGHT hike to Griffis Sculpture Park in East Otto, NY. It is 450 acres and has over 250 large scale sculptures made of metal throughout the property. It is open from May through October. This year, for a few weeks during the Fall, they decorated a small portion of the park with lights and allowed people entry after dusk.
It was so much fun hiking in the dark with my headlamp on. I wasn’t afraid at all because I was with a large group and my good friend, Richelle (who is in Central America right now having the time of her life)! The moon was full or nearly full that night and I didn’t need to use my headlamp at times.
Some of the metal sculptures were made so you could climb them, get in them or sit on them. It was a little freaky walking the path in the complete dark with only a headlamp and BOOM! – come across a naked lady sculpture rising out of the ground!
Or you come across a naked man sculpture! Couldn’t resist this one! Yes, my hand is on his butt. You can see the forest lit up in the background!
The lights made the forest surreal and like we were on another planet.
It was magical!
