This cache is in the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, Washington. This is one of my favorite places to sit and relax in Seattle. This is a relatively easy cache to find, just make sure to watch out for non-geocachers. (And please follow all of the park's rules and guidelines!!) While you're here, I highly recommend you do the "Olympic Sculpture Park Walk" cache by noombs. That is an excellent multi-cache and gives you a good tour of the park.
This cache is very close to the sculpture called "Sky Landscape I" by Louise Nevelson. (Please do not touch or harm the sculpture or any sculptures in this park!)
Here's some info on the sculpture:
Welded steel was a material favored by sculptors of Louise Nevelson's generation, but she became known for working in wood and only later incorporated Plexiglas, aluminum and Lucite into her repertoire. Sky Landscape I translates from wood to metal her approach to constructed sculpture. A collage of distinct parts, this work consists of two totemic elements that extend upward to the sky, accented by flourishes of curved metal. While occupying three dimensions, Sky Landscape I reflects Nevelson's devotion to relief sculpture and the creation of heightened drama within a narrow field of space.
Here's what Nevelson said concerning this sculpture:
"I fell in love with black; it contained all color. It wasn't a negation of color...black is the most aristocratic color of all...you can be quiet, and it contains the whole thing."
-Louise Nevelson
P.S. If anybody noticed, my home location is about 670 miles away from this geocache. So, how will I maintain it? I actually visit Seattle once a month and I have friends and family up here who know where the geocache is. So, don't worry and be happy!
