A brass plaque on the corner post of the surrounding fence states -
"This sculpture was donated by the Roma settlement of Kamenci in far-eastern Slovenia. The five children holding hands and dancing symbolize tolerance and love, emphasizing that Kamenci is a place where people from diverse backgrounds have joined together to foster a better future. The sunflower in the middle is a Roma symbol for friendship and spiritual enrichment. The wheel is an emblem of the Roma people and evokes their nomadic past; it also represents Kamenci as a cultural crossroads. Artist: Tibor Francic (b. 1959, Murska Sobota, Slovenia)"

There is a guard post nearby. It may be prudent to tell them what you are doing, and why, as taking pictures 'stealthily' is likely to arouse suspicion. I believe the guards prefer NOT to be in any photos you may take.
