While vacationing in Florida we happened upon BARBERVILLE YARD ART EMPORIUM in the small town of Barberville, just outside of Ocala Florida. As we stopped at a red light we saw the sign you see in this 1st picture. What we noticed being displayed on the roadside was fascinating and we decided to pull a U-turn and see what this place was all about.
Choosing to turn around was the right decision. We spent several hours walking around this place with our jaws hanging open in amazement.
The artists that tooled the following pieces, made from either copper or aluminum, had to spend hundreds of hours creating these works of art.
Around every corner was another statue that was so real looking it was hard to fathom the skills that each piece must have required.
This replica of a Texas Longhorn Steer was one of my favorite pieces.
Every square inch of the emporium displayed creations that were hard to believe were hand-crafted.
