Gilgal Gardens is both a city park and a weird place. It was smaller than I thought it would be, but still good.
This is the sculpture you always see pics of...
But this one with the body parts strewn all over was my favorite. It’s based on a dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had that Daniel interpreted.
These were strange, too.
Actually, they were all strange! The most normal part was the beautiful flowers and plants.
(What is this plant?? I couldn’t get over how perfect the stripes were!)
This is a place I would bring out of town visitors, but it only takes about 15 minutes to see. It is not a main attraction.
I also visited the Anderson Tower Monument, which was quite disappointing. Some guy built a little tower with a nice view of the city and thought he’d make money off of it, but no one wanted to pay for a view they could see for free (I mean, this city is surrounded by hills), so then he made it free for a while and then the city got rid of it in 1932.
You actually can’t see downtown at all from the site because there’s a big apartment building in the way, but you can see the capitol.
The stones are from the original structure, which was made from the same granite as the LDS temple.
Really, not much to see.
