Eco-Earth

Uploaded: March 02, 2014

Description

The Eco Earth Globe is located at the southern portion of the Riverfront Park, Salem Oregon. This sphere was originally a large pressurized tank used by Boise Cascade to hold acids that were used to "cook" wood chips into pulp. It was a 5-year process to transform this "acid ball" into a beautiful piece of art that includes 86,000 tiles depicting the entire globe.
