September 5, 2009 – Caelum Moor, at the time of this writing, was a sculpture park in Arlington, Texas (halfway between Fort Worth and Dallas) that held several large stone sculptures by Norm Hines between 1986 to 1997. Think Stonehenge with later Celtic influence in over 250 tons of Texas pink granite. It was to be the centerpiece of a business development that went bankrupt. It currently (2009) lives in disassembled status in a water treatment plant warehouse in Arlington. There are some folks trying to get it reassembled at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. Future unknown
I stopped by late one cold afternoon in January (I know) 1988 (I think), coming back from somewhere. Not many shots left in the camera, out of unexposed film rolls, too late to get more before the light was gone. Took what I could, not sure why I didn’t go back later.
The big wall stores in the background of a few shots are the phase 1 of a now large shopping mall. The original site of Caelum Moor is now under the asphalt, concrete and stores of subsequent expansions.
Scans from both negs and prints – they degrade with age differently. Cleanup with various hammers, not really a full restoration project
