After its tour of the world, it was bought and donated to our city by local citizens or foundations. I remember being extra excited about it as I had seen your photos of it from Antibes before!

I thought that the Plensa 'sculpture' arrived quite a few years ago. Wasn't it at the time when it toured various countries and I saw it when I was in Antibes in 2012. (Heavens - 10 years ago).

And it was really only with the first one that I had a flu-like reaction for a couple of days with a bit of fever etc. Yesterday my arm was rather sore, but today I've hardly thought about it.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-22030974714643749042022-05-04T18:43:57.336+02:002022-05-04T18:43:57.336+02:00CG, Borås has changed a lot since the 60' (and...CG, Borås has changed a lot since the 60' (and also since the mid 80's when I moved here to live). On this walk, I kept on the outskirts of the city centre, avoiding the shopping streets and the main square etc. Bot the sculptures are fairly new. The one by the railway station is called Devil Whirls and was installed there as recently as last summer.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-36436261080572009342022-05-04T18:27:36.568+02:002022-05-04T18:27:36.568+02:00Ginny, yes, I can walk for an hour - and often do,...Ginny, yes, I can walk for an hour - and often do, as that is about what it takes me to walk downtown and back again. I prefer to know I have the option of taking the bus if I get tired, though. (On this occasion too, I knew I'd be able to take a bus part of the way if I felt like it.)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-3853826567933249882022-05-04T15:26:12.030+02:002022-05-04T15:26:12.030+02:00the perfect day for the walk and the perfect place...the perfect day for the walk and the perfect places to walk past. amazing views, my favorite is the same as yours, the old tower. i am thinking the long walk home might have helped with no side effects from the shot. happy you got your 4th, we have not gotten ours yetMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-48894578834307878452022-05-04T12:11:52.108+02:002022-05-04T12:11:52.108+02:00What a lovely walk in spring sunshine.

I do enjoy seeing photos of Boras, but don't recognise anywhere in particular. It was late 60's when we were there, and only for an afternoon and night in late October - so dark very early. I did manage to get some shopping in, as I think mentioned some time ago!<br /><br />The House of Knowledge is my favourite sculpture too - the one by the railway station reminds me of the flex for my Kindle battery charger - it usually looks just as chaotic, no matter how neatly I try to wind it up!<br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-83615354729453421022022-05-03T22:32:35.039+02:002022-05-03T22:32:35.039+02:00You can walk for an entire hour?
