Like the Stone Arch Bridge, another distinguishable and photographable icon in the Twin Cities is the cherry and the spoon (or more formally Spoonbridge and Cherry), a centerpiece of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
The "posterized" picture above playfully shows Emily picking the cherry off the top of her melting ice cream cone - but in reality it would take more than two fingers to lift the 1,200 pound cherry.
A 5,800 pound spoon might do the trick, though.
This sculpture is definitely a fun one to photograph, and many people find creative ways to do so (as we were taking this picture another group snapped a shot of a person pretending to bite the cherry off of the spoon).I'd like to think that we were the first to bring waffle cones and vanilla ice cream in a cooler to the park, scoop up a fresh cone right there in the sculpture garden, and then move around the sculpture until we found an angle that worked perfectly (while the ice cream dripped over Emily's hands in the warm sun)...but I'd be willing to bet that crazier and more creative shots than that have been taken here.
We'll keep looking for fun shots like this to bring to you as the quest for creativity and uniqueness continues!
