Maze Gaze

As always, we were in search of a blog post so we visited the Crane Estate to view the modern maze structure recently installed on the site of the former maze at the mansion. This artwork is called TunnelTeller by its artist Alicja Kwade. It has concrete walls and steel tubing highlighted by spheres of various sizes. These spheres are polished stone and placed strategically around the maze area.  It’s not a complex maze, you will not get lost.

Peering through the steel tunnels gives an “other-worldly” effect contrasting the steel and concrete with the trees and sky.

It’s an interesting piece that will be on display for several months. Admission to the estate for non-members such as ourselves is $15 (free on weekdays to Ipswich residents) and can be applied to Crane Beach parking ($25 in the high season) if you are so inclined.

Back row: Elijah, Ben, Jackson, Luca; front row: Meadow, Sophia, Sabine, Atticus

The East Gloucester “Plastic Pick it Up” club is kicking off the summer with neighborhood lemonade stands. All the proceeds go towards initiatives to help rid Gloucester of plastic pollution. Last year they donated the amazing sum of $540.00 to the Cape Ann Maritime Partnership (CAMP) to help purchase a Seabin and Marine Skimmer, marine technologies designed to clean up oil and plastic garbage.

When you see one of their pop up lemonade stands, stop for a delicious glass of homemade lemonade and donate what you can. Thank you!

Thurs., June 28th at 7 p.m.
at Sandy Bay Yacht Club
 
“A Journey through Cape Ann’s Geologic History to its Present Day Landscape”
 
The talk will describe how our geologic history over millions of years shaped the Cape Ann landscape we know today. It will also show how human history has influenced the landscape, from colonial times to the current impacts of climate change and sea level rise. The talk will conclude with a brief overview of land conservation in the U.S, which has been described as one of America’s greatest ideas.

Ed has been at the heart of Greenbelt’s growth and land conservation success for over thirty years.  During this time, he has led the transformation of Greenbelt from a small three-person operation to its current position as one of the most effective and highly-respected land conservation trusts in the country.  Ed’s exceptional abilities, integrity and passion for conserving land and nature define him.West Gloucester Sand Dunes
