World's Largest Cherry and Spoon



I found this world's largest by accident actually. I saw it took some pictures and then realized later it was a world's largest. It is at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is 354" x 618" x 162" and weighs 7000 lbs. In the winter when there is snow on it, it looks cool because it looks like whipped cream on the cherry. Unfortunately I saw it in the summer, so no snow. The other thing that makes this cool is that it is also a fountain. Some days water sprays from the stem of the cherry. Again unfortunately not this day. Apparently I wasn't having much luck with making this thing look cool.

World's Largest Axe


This is the first world's largest thing I ever saw. I was actually forced to see it on a family trip out east. At the time I thought it was soo not interesting and kind of lame, but now...ok it is still kind of lame but a little cool too :) It is in Nackawic, New Brunswick right in the village near the arena. It is 60 feet tall and weighs over 55 tons. It was erected to celebrate the importance of the woods industry in the life of the village. There is actually a time capsule in the head of the axe. So this is the beginning of my journey :) Hope you enjoy!
