Reverence, Granite sculpture in South Burlington, US.
The Reverence sculpture presents two black granite whale tails emerging from ground level, standing 13 feet tall at Technology Park.
Created by Jim Sardonis in 1989, the sculpture moved from its initial location in Randolph to South Burlington after a decade.
The sculpture received recognition in academic circles when it appeared on the cover of A World of Art textbook by Henry Sayre.
Visitors can reach the sculpture by taking Interstate 89 to exit 12 and following Technology Park signs past several shopping centers.
The whale tails design reflects the geological past of Vermont, where marine fossils indicate the region existed underwater during the Paleozoic period.
