Open air, free to experience sculptures.
Flowing water, sparkling sunlight, native forest, birdsong with vistas of inspiring artwork and stories of local history, culture and nature – the Geraldine Sculpture Trail is free, accessible to all and totally unique to New Zealand.
The individual loops wind their way through and around the beautiful village of Geraldine, South Canterbury.
Between seemingly incessant Nor Wester’s, chilly starts, the promise of warmer days that don’t eventuate and then finally the sun does come out and I’m not wearing sunscreen.
It is so encouraging to see the signs of spring, those lovely warm days and an absolute joy to be outside, but they are often a precursor to the opposite.
I am absolutely buzzing with is beautiful weather, crisp starts, to say the least, and gloriously sunny days ready to tip us into Spring, aren’t we so ready for it !
How lucky are we to have had two days of settled weather, as I write this article with the sun on my back, I really hope it continues for a few more, just lovely.
Glorious days following frosts are fabulous. Getting out and stretching your legs on one of the trails is relaxing and rejuvenating, and you never know whom you might bump into 😉
“‘Piwakawaka and the Pinecone’ just fits beautifully,” says Geraldine Sculpture Trail coordinator Rosie Woods. The bronze sculpture was unveiled on Friday at the Geraldine Library and Service Centre, the trail’s first permanent artwork.
