Hey @zirochka x remember this? Saw your post on steem!

Wanderlust, following the lens, going nowhere in particular, bringing you some amazing,( in my opinion anyways), modern art.

The Tree of Life in Rike Park

Created in 2016 by Georgian artist David Monavarlisashvili, with an alternative name of "the tree of wishes"

Made out of bits of scrap metal, in the form of an oak tree, I stood amazed for quite a while, the more you look at it the more you see.

Bird houses, insects and even a series of suspension bridges!

The couple are real, the dog isn't. Notice how the bench is made of assorted spanners welded together.

The residents of Baratashvili Bridge

The Baratashvili Bridge was constructed in 1966, and named after Nikolaz baratashvili, a Georgian romantic poet. Known locally becuse of this as the "Bridge of Love."

The figures are a parody of couples in love.

The figures in bronze are the work of Georgian artist Gia Japaridze and were installed in 2006. now in his late 70's Gia has works erected globally and in many museums and private collections, including the vatican

The silhouettes of Dedaena Park

I meandered via other places and ended up in this public park, there was a lot going on, families out socialising, kids in the skatepark. No snaps taken, "Remember in future doofus, to take a spare battery out with you."

What an awesome and creative tree! The details are superb, especially those suspension bridges! 😍

Another fascinating art post from grindle! These pieces are so funky and captivating. I especially like the tree of wishes. Thank you so much for sharing. 🌼

cheers @emanate-artworx thanks for dropping in, glad you enjoyed, can't disagree with you, they were different and very photogenic

I never thought Tbilisi could be so artistic, particularly the oak tree, it's fascinating how real it is from a distance

TBH, Tbilisi, is a pretty awesome place. I was not expecting it to be as photogenic as it was.

Wow, the tree is really cute. This place looks interesting 😊 Thanks for sharing 😊

cheers @name0 thanks for dropping in, Tbilisi? pretty awesome place tbh

Very well done by artist.


Hey @grindle, here is a little bit of BEER from @joanstewart for you. Enjoy it!

Pretty awesome - loved it all. I can imagine that at night it seems so real. I wonder how many people have been concerned about a potential jumper at night.

LOL, I think the locals ( like me in my town) are ambivalent to what is on their door step. I was the only interested party looking at them

Aww it is often like that

yes we don't see what is right in front of our own front door
