“Walking to the Sky” a 7 ton Sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky

“’Walking to the Sky’ is a portrait of all of humanity rising upwards from the earth to the heavens above — striving into the future with strength and determination.” Says the CMU (a’64) alumnus and artist. I drive by the Carnegie Mellon campus and think about trying to find a place to park to photograph this public art from a closer angle.

I posted a guest blog by Shuey of this sculpture in 2017 and another post from Berlin in 2018 Borofsky’s work Molecule Man

A New Leaf

turn over a new leaf

 
phrase
If you say that you are going to turn over a new leaf, you mean that you are going to start to behave in a better or more acceptable way


So many different textures, shapes and colors.

Lots of new growth I noticed on my walk.
