Photo of the Day: ‘Circle Dance’ Sculpture, Brown University

Late last October, on a vacation to Providence, Rhode Island, I was touring Brown University at mid-day when my eyes were stopped by this stainless steel sculpture on The Walk near Waterman Street.  

Circle Dance, by Tom Friedman, was installed in 2012. Inspired by Henri Matisse’s La Danse, it’s evidently become something of a local institution in its own right, attracting many photographers, professional or, like me, amateur, who are caught up in the swirl of its 11 joyful figures linking hands and dancing to music we wish we could hear, too.
