The Flame, Springfield, Oregon

Last month my husband and I took a long weekend trip to Oregon and stayed in an Airbnb in the city of Springfield (just outside of Eugene). While exploring the area we were able to see this amazing sculpture called “Flame”. It is quite beautiful and reminded me of an Olympic Cauldron.

Flame 2This 62 foot tall bright red and silver sculpture was created by sculptor Davin Laurence Field and it located at Gateway Street and Randy Papé Beltline. Field states the concept was to create a welcoming beacon to announce the north end of the city, create a sense of place as a new landmark, and ‘leave a light on for travelers’ arriving from I-5 into the hospitality district.
