Rapid City Regional Airport

I am finally home and just finished uploading all the photos I took with my camera during my recent trip to Arizona. Here are a few more shots of our small airport.

I was really glad that not only did we have fair weather for both the flight out and the return flight, but also that neither airport was overly crowded. Before my flight on the 13th I had plenty of time to look around and take a few shots.

Sad Sight

Just before I headed out on vacation I was down town and saw this very sad sight. Someone had knocked a rather large dent in this sculpture. Why someone would do such a thing I can not imagine, even if they don't like the art piece to damage it is just wrong. I hope the offer of a reward helped the police identify the person responsible for the damage.

Sculpture Walk - Call to Artists

One thing I really love about the Sioux Falls community is its' commitment to the arts. For a small city of 150,000 people support for the arts is very strong. Art exhibits, theatrical shows, musical performances all are enjoyed and supported by our community. 

Of the many art exhibits held throughout the year the most visible is the Down Town Sculpture Walk. The Sculpture Walk is going into it's sixth year and has recently sent out a call to artists for the 2012 Sculpture Walk.

These sculptures are displayed on the walkways throughout the down town area and many are sold each year and moved to new homes, sometimes in private residences sometimes at local businesses. 


These last two are my favorites from this years Sculpture Walk.

You can view the current sculptures on line here.

If you or someone you know creates sculptures you may want to check out the call to Artists.
