When I wandered through the Newport Beach art park taking photos, a couple of weeks ago, I called this "the bunny circle." It was only when I wrote the last blog post, and I went to look up the actual address for the Newport Beach Civic Center, that I saw it was called Bunnyhenge.
That just made me laugh. We live in a weird world, with all kinds of unusual places and mysteries to explore. In this weird world, you can simply search "bunnyhenge" on Google Maps, and this place comes up. So I decided to give Bunnyhenge its own post on this new blog of mine, since this is a blog about adventures, large and small. This circle of bunnies, made of concrete or something (I didn't really try to find out), are about three feet high.
You can view, or photograph the whole circle, from the lookout point. It's on the ocean side end of the foot bridge, over San Miguel street. And you can walk around the bunnyhenge, and the big bunny, which is farther down the trail. While it's hazy in this photo, that's the Pacific Ocean out there in the background. The building below, in the center of the photo, is the Newport Beach Civic Center, which is at 100 Civic Center Drive. That address is basically the address for the driveway, it's not a real street. Bunnyhenge is right by the corner of Avocado and San Miguel streets, about two blocks away from Fashion Island mall. The Newport library, a GREAT library, is on the downhill side of this building complex.
Here's Bunnyhenge up close, looking towards Spyglass Hill, across MacArthur Boulevard.
Here's the Big Bunny, about 6 1/2 or 7 feet tall, farther down the walking trail from Bunnyhenge. All photos by me (Steve Emig).
