Today’s featured photographs were taken at Prairie Moon Sculpture Garden by Gregg Blasdel between 1967 and 1974. After retiring in 1952, the farmer, fiddler, and sculptor Herman Rusch built nearly forty brightly-hued sculptures on the grounds out of concrete and quarried stone.

Blacksmith Sergey Ivanovich Kirillov’s decorated house in Kunara is well known in this country and is considered one of the best examples of Russian folk art architecture. In fact, in 1999 it won an all-Russian competition of amateur wooden architecture! spacesarchives.org/explore/search…
