Art in the Park

Yesterday, we visited a park in central Illinois that has many sculptures on display. The 6,000+ acre park is owned by the University of Illinois, and is named Allerton Park after the donor Robert Allerton. This park is not well-known but has beautiful formal gardens in addition to the sculptures. Of course, I especially enjoyed the male body being represented as an art form.

These were called "Fu Dogs" and there were two long rows of them, all slightly different.

We were only able to tour a small portion of the park when the prospect of a 2.5 hr drive back to Indiana after already been on a 30-mile bike ride earlier made us call it a day. Perhaps next time we will be able to stay longer.
