Grand Children and the Kugel Ball

47° 37′ 9″ N, 122° 21′ 4″ W

""A kugel ball is a sculpture consisting of a large granite ball supported by a very thin film of water. Water flows beneath a very heavy, perfectly spherical rock from a spherical concave base with exactly the same curvature. A kugel ball can weigh thousands of pounds[ 2000 ], but because the thin film of water lubricates it, the ball spins.""

So cool... the shot and the kugel ball! Thanks for sharing that bit of knowledge... which is just one more thing I love about 365... learning about all kinds of unusual things. :)

@marilyn I didn't see any hand out as we entered, so I figured that information must be online somewhere.

Woah, I recognize those fountains in the background from my youth :-) What a cute shot!
