On the walk back we came across this old tractor in the forest. Almost like a cartoon character creeping forwards!

From the series "Search for the secret waterfall". Check out the set for the full story of the coolest adventure I've had in a long time.

Takashi Murakami's Reversed Double Helix comprises of five individual sculptures. Tongari-kun (Mr. Pointy) (2003-2004), a 23-foot mushroom-capped Buddha-like figure, sprouting arms and hands, is flanked by four smaller, white, figures named Jikokkun, Koumokkun, Tamon-kun and Zoucho-kun (2003-2005). The Reversed Double Helix, which was on exhibit in Rockefeller Center in 2003, refers to the "the twisted spirals of DNA strands and plays upon Murakami's universe of mutant cartoon characters, where wide-eyed mushrooms coexist with multi-armed giants, happy flowers, and elfin creatures."

© MURAKAMI, the most comprehensive retrospective to date of the work of internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, was on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art from April 5 - July 13, 2008. Organized by the The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, the exhibit included more than ninety works in various media spanning the artist’s entire career, installed in more than 18,500 square feet of gallery space across the Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing and Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery.

Among the works included are many of Murakami's acclaimed sculpture figures including Miss Ko2 (1997), a long-legged waitress who has become one of the artist’s signature characters; and Hiropon (1997), a Japanese girl jumping a rope created by milk spurting from her gargantuan breasts. Among the paintings on view will be Tan Tan Bo (2001), as well as Tan Tan Bo Puking—a.k.a. Gero Tan (2002).

The Brooklyn Museum, sitting at the border of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights near Prospect Park, is the second largest art museum in New York City. Opened in 1897 under the leadership of Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences president John B. Woodward, the 560,000-square foot, Beaux-Arts building houses a permanent collection including more than one-and-a-half million objects, from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art.

The Brooklyn Museum was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.

We bumped into a Cosplay photo session. For those of you who don't know, Cosplay is where people dress up as cartoon characters, fantasy characters, and half human-half animal beings and act out the character. The two on the rock looked like kids, but with Cosplay, you never know.
