Tour de Apple Tree

It takes a sharp eye to spot George Dombek’s Tour de Apple Tree, a cast bronze sculpture of a tree bearing branches and twigs in the form of a bicycle. Primarily known as a watercolor painter, Dombek, born in Paris, Arkansas, now divides his time between Brooklyn, New York, and the Ozarks.
