Scenes From Africa.

It is sunny and 23 degrees C here in Hamilton, and it has been like that for a week. I thought we would check out the ZIMSCULPT exhibit at the Royal Botanical gardens. ZIMSCULPT is a Sculpture exhibit from Zimbabwe, Africa.

There are over 300 sculptures set up throughout the gardens.


The stone the artists use is a lot like soap stone, and comes in various colours.


Each sculpture tells a different story, or depicts ancient African mythology.


Some of the artists also demonstrated their carving techniques.





They were also selling most of the sculptures..... The Price?

Anywhere from $1000 to $12000 ... Yikes!
