As you all know, I love sculpture. Barbara my wonderful niece with a magic eye for the camera, shared the wonders she discovered while walking in the woods near Farnham in Surrey, England. I So want to go there and experience the place for myself. I particularly loved the shoe trees. What is your favourite?
I am still having fun and being absolutely spoiled, but I may wait until I get home to blog about my adventures!
http://www.connellsbay.co.nz/ – a sculpture park on Waiheke Island, which is actually a suburb in my Auckland. I think there are other such parks around NZ but I recently watched a documentary on the processes….
Cathy, sculpture parks are becoming popular in this neck of the woods too. It is wonderful to so many artists recognised for their efforts.
Al has said he wants me to put the park on his itinerary when he is in London, so maybe you could come over & meet him then…. Unless they are planning a visit to Ulster too 🙂
Wow… some stats for you… 64 views on my site today directly via this link 🙂 (So far…)
…. now 124…
That would be a wonderful idea.Still shooting for 2014. We have to go to a family wedding in California this fall so that will blow all our travel money for this year.
🙂 weddings are always great. I’d love to visit California! I’ve only ever been to the east coast…. Someday…..
I recommend the trip before it falls into the ocean….there would be a lot less to seen then.
Now that is something to think about!
I never bother with stats, but am glad you had a good response from my reblogging this post.
It would be lovely to see you over here!
Some day. I promise!
We will hold you to that!!
Thank you, great stuff. http://news.wwu.edu/go/doctype/1538/21448/ Here’s some picts of outdoor sculpture at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, USA.
Thanks Celia, that was interesting!
Thanks for the interesting park pictures. One ol cow that I love is up the road a ways from me.

Brighid, You should not call your neighbours names!! 😛
Wonderful images. Love the tugboat. Dianne
That was the one that caught my eye! A tugboat, bright blue & yellow in the woods! Mad 🙂
I was seeing that tugboat with a child’s eye. Wonderful!
I love the shoe trees. That’s really clever!
That’s one of my favourites too
I always had a thing about shoes!
Interesting re-blog, Grannymar. Glad you’re having a grand time away.
enforced rest yesterday and today, but hope to be back on track by Sunday.
OMG! What a fantastic sculpture park that is; I’d love to visit that myself! As for my favorite, it’s almost impossible to say. How about my least favorite instead? That would be the rudder and the disc. That one with the babies flung up on the headless horses is rather intriguing, however. I wonder what the artist was trying to tell us with that one?!!? Thanks for sharing this one.
Glad you enjoyed the virtual wander, Alice. There is plenty to think about with each piece.
