This is a partial shot of a series of three sculptural figures over at the nearby Griftpark. The sculptures — Drei Grosse Figuren (Three Large Figures) — are by German artist Thomas Schütte. They’re one of the many bits of sculpture that seem to pop up in random places throughout the city. The Griftpark itself is a former industrial area that was transformed into a nice park. The three figures seem somehow appropriate.

Strange
My son calls those ‘clay guys’
It’s a perfect description!
LOL, I looked at that photo and thought, “Why did Allison put a Happy Meal flamingo on that statue?” Cooper got a flamingo in his meal the other day that looks just like it!
That’s my flamingo, Orlando. Although to be honest, there’s a possibility that I did get him from a Happy Meal years ago.
Orlando rocks!
Hey Alison, is there anything going on in Utrecht on Tueday? My friend is visiting from NYC and I want to show him around. But I’m still sort of a tourist myself, haha! Any recommendations?
Hey Pam,
I’m not sure about anything specifically going on on Tuesday, although if you’re feeling adventurous, you could always climb the Domtoren! If you’re not familiar with it, this website is handy for finding out about different events: http://www.utrechtsuitburo.nl/dsp_weekagenda.cfm?dag=2009-11-10
Tuesday seems a bit slow. Shame he’s not going to be here later this month in time for the Smartlappen Festival. That’s a crazy weekend! If you have a chance to get into Utrecht today, the Cultural Sunday events are taking place, focusing on the fall of the Berlin Wall. Should be interesting! http://www.culturelezondagen.nl/cz/do.php?a=show_visitor_home
