Plant Sculptures

Thursday, September 20, 2012

     Every once in a while as we travel through Krasnoyarsk on the bus or on foot, we see "plant sculptures."  We haven't examined them closely enough to see exactly how they do it but the plants on these sculptures are actually growing.  They use different kinds of plants for the different colors.
      Some of these photos were taken late in the year so some of the plants are dying.  We have heard there are more and we will post them when we run across them.



The Lion with the Shovel and the Scythe are the symbol of Krasnoyarsk.  Not sure why.  Still doing the research on that.

  1. That would be fun if we did that here. I have to admit though some of them are kind of strange. They must have hidden meaning. It looks very wet
