Turning the World Upside Down


ANISH KAPOOR
Kensington Gardens
Serpentine Gallery

Yesterday, my plans got all cancelled at the last minute so I hurried to come up with an Alternative Art adventure. It ended up being one of my best days so far in London.

I ventured to Hyde Park and first I had a coffee at the Serpentine Gallery Cafe overlooking the Serpentine Lake. I was immediately feeling happiness and satisfaction engulf me, and then to top it off, one of my sisters called to announce that she was going to get married in Lake Geneva this fall. What better place than this to receive good news? Now Hyde Park will always remind me of Love fulfilled!

Even though it was cold the sun was shining so I walked slowly to not interfere with my blissful state through the park, to explore Anish Kapoor's sculptures.

What better way to explore a new park than to go from sculpture to sculpture?

Hyde park has it all from a great manicured park and lake into the more wild and free Kensington garden and its Round pond and Italian fountain garden, and also with The Serpentine Gallery in the middle of this heaven.

If you are in London right now there is nothing I could recommend more than walking among the Anish Kapoor Sculptures in Kensington Garden. But, hurry it is all over the 13th of March.

With Love 
Kristin

  4. Beautiful sculptures and photographs, unless you get them in some shade from the top, but that's the least you can be removed perfectly with Photoshop, are perfect. I love the mirror which reflects the forest.
