ALAMOSA — After the years nationally known artist and San Luis Valley native Jocelyn Russell has spent researching, designing and sculpting the extraordinary work “Cranes in Flight: Into Thin Air,” the impressive bronze monument to the iconic birds will finally be installed in its permanent location on Saturday, May 31. In the event of some unforeseen delay, June 15 has been chosen as an alternate date.
The monument will consist of two Sandhill cranes with 8-to-9-foot wing spans as they fly "Into Thin Air." The sculpture will be placed at the Colorado Welcome Center in Alamosa, 610 State Avenue, which connects the center to the proposed Hunt Avenue Cultural Trail, linking the welcome center to Cole Park via a pedestrian thoroughfare.
Starting in May, there will also be a display at the Colorado Welcome Center to usher in the installation.
