People Watching


I had a pretty event filled summer. I got a new place (we'll just call it "survivor, mover's edition"), went through a little break up? break off?, and had a second job in retail that I enjoyed very much. Getting to dress up and wear heels is what I live for. So as the summer came to a close, as did the second job, I had some free weekends. I simply got on Google and searched "free things to do in Columbus, Ohio". The first thing that caught my attention was topiarypark.org which was dedicated in 1992. After the demise and subsequent suspicious spontaneous combustion of what was then The Columbus Institution for the Deaf, the Columbus born artist James T. Mason developed the plans to recreate the famous George Seaurat's painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jette". The park attracts visitors from around the World. From the East side of the park you can actually pick up a copy of the painting and see the park as it was meant to be seen. My photo below is from the West. What a perfect way to watch the sunrise on a breathtakingly beautiful Summer morning.
