Wing's Spire

I really thought that I'd pretty much shot every picture of everything possible in my hometown of Sandwich.  But I was wrong.  Decided to head out on a nice day to try and find the new dam and herring run between Upper and Lower Shawme Ponds.  I had a general idea where it was so I drove down the road and pulled over where I saw a path into the woods. 



Instead of coming out at the dam, I was surprised to find an art installation in the middle of a meadow.

This is called Wing's Spire and is a memorial for the textures of New England Farms.  I did not know that this was the original Wing property (big name in Sandwich; we all went to H.T. Wing Elementary School)

It was some kind of fuzzy fibre.  You could sit inside but I didn't go in.



This one invites people to sit for a bit.


I was curious about the yellow blocks with the knobs so I lifted one to see what was under it.







As I wandered around I realized that I was on the backside of Heritage Gardens & Museums.  I didn't even know their land went down this far, and I wonder how many people know this is back there.

Loved how this fence looked along the road.

Now off to find the dam!
