Spoonbridge and Cherry

The Spoonbridge and Cherry is the center piece of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.

It was erected in 1985 and since then, it has remained one of the most iconic landmarks of the city. It looks beautiful with the backdrop of the blue sky and the bright red cherry.

Did you notice the rainbow? That one, in particular, was a cherry on the spoon for me.

  1. This is an amazing piece of architecture. I liked how the spoon touches the water and the cherry balancing on it.
    I am glad you are back to the world of blogging. I am sure you had a wonderful time discovering new places, leaving the last leg of your trip from Shimla to Delhi.

  2. Wow! What a delightful piece of modern architecture! The cherry looks temptingly delicious…and seeing it in the actual scale must be quite an experience! I noticed the rainbow only after reading your lines, though. 😀

    1. Ha ha! Happens Esha. When I was clicking the shots, the rainbow wasn’t seen but as I got closer, there were two 🙂 only one shows up in the picture. Thanks for stopping by!

  3. I remember the spoon and cherry from long ago. For some reason I thought I took pictures of it in the early 80s or late 70s, I guess it’s all a blur to me. Thanks for pointing out the rainbow.

  4. I thought I had gone blind. I couldn’t find the rainbow at first. This is too pretty. The Spoon bridge. Is it like a walkable bridge or just a tourist attraction?
