Description

Color photograph of a large stone with a salamander carved in relief, standing on grass in front of a red and gray brick building with several windows. The photograph shows one of the nine Maine bluestone boulders from "Songo River Song," a public sculpture by Carole Hanson created in 1993. The stone features a salamander relief carved into its surface and is placed in an outdoor grassy area with some greenery at its base. Behind the sculpture, there is a red and gray brick building with three windows visible, and small shrubs and plants growing nearby. This photo was taken at Songo Locks School in Naples, Maine, where the sculpture represents the wildlife found along the Songo River as part of an installation. 1994. Unidentified photographer.
