Isaiah’s Scale: Plowshare to Crop
27February 18, 2015 by Melanie L.
Sculptor Jordan Griska literally “beat” this 45′ long U.S. Grumman SE-2 tracker into a greenhouse. With a wingspan of 73 feet, it dwarfs my son, a figurative crop.

It looks like it’s definitely ‘come a cropper’ and the young man really adds a sense of scale 🙂

Lenfest Plaza at Broad and Cherry. It was supposed to be a temporary – to be there for only two growing seasons. That was in 2011 but my photo was taken in 2014. So it should still be there.

I never knew that we can copy and paste it. I always thought that you have to link each and every one. Thank you very much for that information.

Thanks for the visit and ping back over at CTB 😀 . Since they changed format on WP nobody takes the time to ‘ping’ anymore. Much appreciated.
Love your shot and it shows great scale 🙂

Thanks for the pingback. I think I have a picture of the other side of the plane with the flowers. Not sure where the picture is. ~Julia
