October 25, 2011 - Black Orange Yellow Sun

Fall is black and orange and yellow.  What might look like fancy jack o'lantern is actually a girl sitting in the hole of Isamu Noguchi's "Black Sun", watching the sun go down at Seattle's Volunteer Park.

Originally City Park, Volunteer Park was renamed in 1901 in recognition for those who had volunteered in the Spanish-American War.  In addition to the meadows, picnic areas and wading pools it is home to the Seattle Asian Art Museum, a water tower with an observation deck and a conservatory.
