This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Triangle."
This is the third time I've done this theme but that's okay - it's a fun theme. The first time I showed the decorative Byzantine triangles on the church of Santi Maria e Donato in Murano; the second time I shared several photos that included a door in Venice along with a rock and painting in NC.
This time I've got a sculpture from the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh. It's called "The Green Eye of the Pyramid," and the artists are Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychotová.
I had two photographs of it, taken on two different visits to the museum. In the first one, the curtains behind the sculpture are open and you can see the architecture of the museum outside. In the second one, the curtains are closed. I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I decided to post them both. The light in this museum is amazing!
Thanks for visiting and have a nice weekend.
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.

That is definitely a very unique art piece. The color is striking but I'm not certain if I really like the piece. But it is perfect for this week's theme.

Wow, that colour really is gorgeous! Like Marta, am not so sure about the sculpture itself though. I do like how it seems illuminated from within in the second photo, very cool effect. Happy weekend to you too!

Wow! that is amazing, you have captured the light and colour perfectly.
I like both photos, but the second one shows off the sculpture and intensity of colour the most.

Hi Annie, that's a cool looking piece and perfect for this week's theme. It's interesting that it almost seems brighter with the curtains closed. Wonderful photos.
Have a great weekend.

Yes, I found my mosaics I used for the last triangle theme... even had an insect with a triangle on its back.
This is a great photo.. actually, both are. I love the color and the shadow in the arching eye shape.
My lighthouse triangles are here.
