One last set of photos from Artland in Edinburgh - and probably my favorite installation - Weeping Girls. This one caught you almost by surprise, you walk down the path and suddenly you see the first girl.
It was hard not to get emotional walking through this section and discovering each girl.
The artist did an amazing job of making them each unique, not just in shape and position, but in their emotion.
I was awed by the skill of the artist and would love to see how the installation changes over the summer months as the vegetation around them grows - I have a feeling they will feel even more isolated and sad.
Twice while I was in Scotland a piece of art nearly brought me to tears, this was the first, the second was seeing Salvador Dali's painting:
Christ of St John of the Cross at the Kelvingrove Museum.
In honor of art that moves you to tears, here's Brett Dennen's:
It Could Make You Cry.
