Theme: Reflected Light

2009.07.15
The "Keeper of the Plains" is a 44-foot Cor-Ten steel sculpture by Kiowa-Comanche artist Blackbear Bosin. It sits at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers in Wichita, Kansas, was erected in 1974, and placed on a 30-ft. rock promontory surrounded by fire pits in 2006.

Land of Promise
Sacred Spirit






View of city lights from the bridge.

Took these shots while in Kansas in June...visited the Keeper of the Plains Plaza and bridge with my friend, lifeisgood.

firehorsecri Oooh Marsha, such a great set. I like the sculpture and #3 goes into my fav as I've always liked and fond of the First People. #2 and 4 are very well done :-))

firehorsecri P.S. I already know the video song "Land of Promise". Since I was a child I've been an avid reader of the US Natives and I've been always supported their human cause. One day I'd like to come there to my childhood dreamland and learn Lakota language, too. Mitakuye Oyasin.

tedbarlow Beautiful set Marsha.
I am wondering what the Americans (ALL Americans) of 150 years ago would make of the structures featured in the first and last images here...what do you think?

ConceptuellaB #5 is very Beautiful . Such beautiful Colors .
ConceptuellaB · 2009-07-17: 13:27
bundlesofjoy #2 I like the angle and that you chose for it to be in black and white. It is very well done and the light and shadow adds nice to the balance of the photo. #1 is really nice. I like that you can see just a little bit of the bridge in the background and that the man looks like he is on fire. Wonderful set.
bundlesofjoy · 2009-07-17: 16:31
somogyvari Wonderful sculpture! Fantastic set!
somogyvari · 2009-07-18: 01:32
