The Keeper of the Plains

This weekend I found myself needing some time to sit outside and think.. I was driving along the river when I remembered about the keeper of the plains. For those of you who have not visited the Keeper in the last couple of years it is definitely something to see. This sculpture was originally created Blackbear Bosin (1921-1980) and was erected in 1974. The newly renovated Keeper features modern bridges. To me, these bridges don't really seem to relate to the Keeper but do have similarities to Exploration Place's architecture.

I also saw a lot of people reading, sketching, and writing here. This might be a good spot for someone to meditate and think.. instead of a busy indoor coffee shop.

Wichita has a lot of art that we drive past everyday thinking nothing of it.. Here is a link of some of Wichita's public art.
