Bruce Munro found inspiration one day on a rocky peninsula in Australia. He experienced that awesome play of light when a silver shimmer of sun bounces off a surface. He then got an idea
Munro used 600,000 donated CD's and placed this art installation at Long Knoll Field in Wiltshire, England. He hoped that CD Sea would remain in place for 2 months. But he hadn't accounted for the growth of grass or the interest birds would have in the shiny disc. After only about 2 weeks the installation was dismantled and the disc were recycled....again.I love this idea. I am so impressed with how perfect his path is curving through the 'sea'. I would have loved to walk it. Munro said if this installation inspired a smiling face it was successful. Well he certainly made me smile. The sparkle, the moon glinting off the surface...wow. I hope it made you smile too.
