"Previously located at the end of Murphy Street, adjacent to the Macy’s parking lot, the large blue metal sculpture was commissioned by the City of Sunnyvale in 1988. Bay area artist John Battenberg created the piece specifically for Sunnyvale to honor its rich agricultural legacy. The artist created a “cut out” design that allowed the viewer to look beyond the sculpture to the distant mountains.
The sculpture has now found a new home at the Sunnyvale Community Center. It has been placed near the entrance to the Orchard Heritage Park Interpretive Exhibit, and once again, there is a natural backdrop for the piece." (
