Though the upstanding citizens of Orange County , CA , judge to defend themselves against this crystalline mote entity , their weapons were no usance . Its semitransparent whale dominated the visible horizon for years .
This mammoth , plastic structure was a nipper ’s vacation spot in the OC city of Irvine back in the recent seventies and early 80s , when nobody had heard of Orange County and people worried less about grave play areas . I grow up rise around inside this thing , pretending it was a giant demon or a weird spaceship or some kind of mega atom that was lento digest me .
It baby-sit in the middle of Mason Park , a large area of wilderness near the University of California at Irvine . Unfortunately kids go up on the outside of it got hurt , so the metropolis remove this gorgeous cross between scifi art and playground equipment . In its place we got something crippled like a jungle gymnasium .
I always wondered if maybe the structure had actually been something that I dreamed until I came acrossSimonov‘s ikon of it on Flickr . He took this in 1981 as a stripling , and that smudge inside the mega - molecule ’s digestive nerve pathway is his lady friend . So you could see that it was a pretty tumid creation , on a mound overlooking a lake .
Anyone know who design this , or what encounter to it ?
