Follow the Setting Sun

This stainless steel pyramid, developed and funded by the El Paso County Pioneers Association, was originally envisioned to be something quite different and traditional. Early conceptions of a piece for this site intended to portray a family poised next to a prairie schooner. After much input and various commissions, a more contemporary design was chosen. The legs of the pyramid feature stylized “cut-outs” that tell numerous stories about our history while enclosing a setting sun. The sculpture is especially delightful to view at night with its ambient back lighting.
