Carhenge
Carhenge close-up
The Fourd Seasons -representing the four seasons of wheat.
Dino and Spawning Salmon. Both are made of car parts.
One of the sights I wanted to see on this trip was Carhenge, just outside Alliance, Nebraska. Coincidentally, my friends Jeff and Ann had just bought an RV and wanted to give it a shakedown cruise before going on a longer trip this summer. We agreed to meet in Alliance at the Sunset Motel and RV Park.
Carhenge is a replica of Stonehenge, only built of cars not stones. The gray cars in the first two photos are of the original sculpture installed in 1987. The other works of art were added later.
More iron and steel sculpture from elsewhere in Nebraska and Kansas, but first it is on to the Sandhills.
i had never heard of Carhenge until i saw your post yesterday. and then, last night, i saw Carhenge again, in a Nissan advert on the telly. woooo...synchronicity!

They filmed the commercial just a few weeks ago. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Have you seen Stonefridge? It is currently being constructed somewhere around Santa Fe.
