Tuesday Thoughts: More art in the park

more images from rufford park...

the first pic is of the piece at the entrance to the sculpture park - i love its sinuous shape, and the stark sycamore behind it - gorgeous!!

as you follow the path in front, adam beckons you... he's a pleasant enough chap, but don't accept any proffered apple!!

the celtic arch leads you into a new play area for littlies - a celtic village for them to run around - assuming they're not too terrified by the fearsome dragons guarding the entrance!!

then the last two pics are of an ancient hawthorn tree - don't you just love how the trunk twists and turns? in the last pic, you can see a glimpse of a concrete sheep on a bench... usually it's joined by the farmer - you can just make out the lighter coloured wood where he was sitting! but he's being repaired -sitting out for 25 years in all weathers have taken their toll - poor chap...

and there you have it - a quick look at a wonderful parkland, where some inspired people are thoughtfully enhancing nature's beauty.
