A towering, totally impressive sculpture of Don Quixote (don key-hoe-tay) rests silently in a naturally beautiful and woodsy
area in western Massachusetts called Turn Park Art Space.
It is the work of Nikolai Silis.
Quixote was a character in Miguel de Cervantes famous book, "Man of La Mancha," written in the 1600s!
Quixote was a dreamer and idealist who saw the world quite different from the way it really was.
In the sculpture, he is holding a simple flower.
Seeing it is a lovely pause on a summer's afternoon.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH DON QUIXOTE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE LIKE HIM OR NOT?

I am familiar with Don Quixote. You know whether we like it or not I believe everyone has a little bit of him in them.
I love the musical "Man of La Mancha" ...That's about as far as I know that character.
I've heard of Don Quixote, but I'm not really familiar with his character. This is a delightful statue of him at the park.
Have a lovely weekend, Susan.
