I took those photographs at the reservoir in Redding, CT this past week.

One can find unexpected gems when one least expects it. I've been to this lookout trail a few times, but this time, I discovered the Mark Twain Library in Redding, CT had set up this "Story Walk" along the path leading to the reservoir lookout platform (Saugatuck Universal Access Trail). Per their site: "STORYWALK® is an innovative way for all ages to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time."

This is 3 of 3 posts of photographs that I took of sculptures by local artist Anna Hyatt Huntington and 1 of 2 posts of photographs that I took at the Mark Twain Library in Redding, CT this past week.

There are a total of five "Torch Bearers" sculptures. "Huntington never sold her works; all were gifts." There used to be a 14 foot tall Torch Bearers sculpture at the Discovery Museum in Bridgeport, CT, however, in December 2013, they decided to auction theirs off for the money. By comparison, this one is only 64 inches tall (5.3 feet), according to that article.
