Whale Tails, Sculpture over grass
"Reverence" is a sculpture created by Jim Sardonis in 1989. The sculpture depicts two tails of whales "diving" into a sea of grass and is meant to symbolize the fragility of the planet. The tails were made from 36 tons of African black granite and stand 12-13 feet tall. The sculpture was originally commissioned by British metals trader David Threlkeld, who was then a resident of Randolph, Vermont. The tails were to be an exhibit at a conference center that Threlkeld was planning, but financing fell through and Threlkeld moved to Arizona. They were then moved to Technology Park in South Burlington where Ben & Jerry's ice cream has its corporate headquarters.reference:Wikipedia.com
