I had lunch with a friend Friday. I stopped at Centennial Park on the way back to the office to snap some photographs of the park. On my way back to my car I passed a set of bronze sculptures installed on a traffic island. I found it totally charming. The artist is John Gooden<\/a> of Kingfisher, Oklahoma. It turns out that the traffic island is a park called Medicine Wheel Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

The installation is called “Games on the Way” and it shows a mother carrying a baby walking on a path accompanied by a little girl carrying her own baby and a boy playing “Shoot the Hoop.” Everybody is smiling and they seem in total harmony with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sculptures are sponsored by the Indian Health Care Center<\/a> of Tulsa and it is meant to outline their approach to care as nurture: “An embracing approach to care to strengthen physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness within a family.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

All photos are HDR processed. Without it the sculptures are just big dark colored blobs. With it you can see the details.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

And who can argue with that?<\/span>

<\/span>I love coming on unexpected finds like this.<\/span>
