The Marina Sculpture Habitat is a nature-walk featuring half a dozen bronze sculptures. The website montereyinfo writes about this place: "Stroll between magnificent groves of live oaks and coastal chaparral to see original sculptures by local and world-renowned artists at the new Sculpture Habitat. If the process of sculpting in metal fascinates you, stop in at the nearby Monterey Sculpture Center, where artists can bring their creations to be cast in bronze."
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information about the sculptures or the artists anywhere. The sculptures seem to be just dumped into the wilderness. I don’t know if this is intentional, but it gives the place a little bit of a ghost town aura. Personally, I would have enjoyed a little bit more structure, but it is definitely a great place to let your imagination flow freely.
I don’t feel qualified to name these sculptures or to comment on them, I just provide you with the pictures I took while searching for a local virtual geocache.
Just click the thumbnails to get to the larger pictures. Enjoy!
