A beautiful and perhaps sublime Cicada
This post will fit for two challenges namely
Beautiful Sunday By @ace108, and Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a, and for this weeks entry I will share some shots of an Art Piece I saw recently on a morning walk by the Bella Abzug Park near Hudson yards
Starting with a shot of one of the wings of the piece

This little park currently has an exhibit till June with work by Ailene fields ( the artist who did the Kiss a frog pice in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza I shared recently) which I will share her work in a future post, and this piece by Gina Miccinilli.
I started with this shot of the wing as it was the part of this piece I loved the most but here is the full piece
Sony A7iii 28mm F5 1/125 Sec ISO 125

I am not sure what I think of the body of the Cicada, but I do love the wings, and hence another shot of one of the wings

I guess I did really like this piece as I took shots of it from many angles such as from the side here

And on last shot of it to finish this post

And even though I love this piece it is huge and would not be a piece I would want in or outside my house in the gardens ( depending on where we move to and if we have a garden).
And that’s all folks

I agree with the others - I'd take the wings and leave the body, which reminds me on the Michelin Man 😉
But the wings are a beautiful peace of artwork and well photographed, JJ 😊
I would be quite !DERANGED if I didn't give you a !BEER and a !COFFEEA for this $trdo post 😉
I had not seen it before but now I see the resemblance of the body and the Michelin Man LMAO

Great looking piece! Cicada's aren't really pretty creatures by any stretch, but that sculptor did a great job with those wings!
thanks and ohh yeah I love those wings

Love the wings also, I agree about the body not really adding to the piece. The second photo looks like it is flying towards the buildings.
Thanks seems it is not just me who thinks the body is not the best part of this piece and thats me putting it nicely LOL
Have a great day
This is awesome! I love this art piece so much! It's so much better than some Trump tramp we have popping out everywhere. Well, one is already too much especially when it is publicly funded and not in USA 😁

Thanks I lOved the wings especially ;)
Lovely shots! I thought for a moment that you had zoomed in on a real cicada!
LOL that would have been an amazing zoom to get it that big :)
thanks for the visit

Such an interesting looking "sculpture".
I wish I would have the wings like this one)))
arent they such cool wings
What a beautiful artpiece! It's creatively done! 😍
👍🙂👍
What a lovely post JJ. I thought that we only have Cicada's here in Africa?
Some days here we can hardly hear ourselves with their screeching in the heat.
I have a nice photo of a live one somewhere and will look for it.
Blessings!
Thanks My friend, we do have them here as well, but i do remember in parts of Africa hearing the loud concert the put on there
Blessings
Oh yes I forget, you have been here and obviously you would have heard them. No lovely tunes and just a loud zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound.
Best that I can describe it Lol
I never made it to South Africa, but in Uganda and Central African Republic I sure heard them and yes thats a very good description :)
Well if ever you do make it here we will have a good time my friend.
Maybe one of these day we will also look at traveling a bit as I have never been out of Africa.
Blessings!
Sadly I can not fly anymore with my COPD, so unless I win the lottery big time and can cruise there not much chance I can make it there, or if I win big I will treat you on a trip here :)
Blessings
Sadly I don't play the lottery my friend. They are supposed to help charities, but the big money goes to their connections.
Maybe when steem booms we will be able to visit, or book a cruise for you guys!
Blessings!
Oh wow!!! I do love the wings too. What is the art piece made of, I wonder? But now... I can imagine myself flying like a cicada over a park after hibernating 13 to 17 years and seeing the world for the first time, hehe! Well, actually that was how a felt, somewhat... after I started taking photos and noticed beautiful small details, thanks to you @tattoodjay!
Have a great Sunday with family, my friend. Take care.
I did try and lookup to see what it is made of but did not have any sucess, but I do love the wings in good light they would look even better I am sure

Very nice Jay, what are those wings made of? Glass? Acrylic? I wonder that it hasn't been stolen.Upvoted and resteemed
I looked it up yesterday and couldn't find info on them, but i just looked again now and it is made of Recycled glass and polymer resin
Which makes me like it even more I love when art is made of recycled things
Me too! Thanks @tattoodjay!
👍🙂👍
It is really beautiful Cicada photography.

Wings are a pretty design and detail, artist must have battled on how to hold it together to shape the animal.
Ohh yeah and I read later the wings are made of recycled glass which makes me love them even more
Have a great day
My sister used to live in Illinois right near the Mississippi river and in the Summer the cicadas in the trees made the most memorable sound. It was loud and sometimes annoying, but still cool to think back about.
I remember hearing them in a few places i lived particularly in Africa, it is a cool sound but can get so loud and annoying LOL

Are they actually in the park or did you edit them in? Amazing colours in the wings
I did edit the photos, but did not change the location they are in the park ;)
I do not drink hot drinks myself, but I do share !COFFEEA
