Art Themes ~ Orbs

Ruby's Spa at the Edgefield Lodge is quite unique, not only in its history but its decorum.  These wonderful orbs docorate the entire campus of the lodge but are particularly numerous at the spa.  Troutdale, OR.

Every orb is uniquely painted or adorned and are made of cast metal...I'm assuming cast iron or bronze. This one looks flower-like, but the others can be a little challenging to figure out. Ruby's Spa, Troutdale, OR.

Many of the orbs have the swirled metal at the base. Ruby's Spa, Troutdale.

This one looks like an artichoke. Ruby's Spa.

Some aren't painted as much as adorned. The details are what make a motif. These appointments definitely make the Edgefield Lodge a truly unique experience.

A weather vane-looking orb atop the gate structure at Ruby's Spa. Some of these look as if there was some significant painting effort involved.

An orb with a celestial feel to it...at the gate of Ruby's Spa. Troutdale, OR.

This orb was on the roof of the bar/lounge next door to Ruby's Spa.
