Hello. I'm back in circulation, thanks for all your kind messages, I had a lovely Birthday day out at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Combined with some extra walking I did seven miles. Not a lot but there was so much to stop and see. The 80 plus sculptures are spread over 500 acres. I had already seen some of them on previous visits, but there are new ones which I wanted to see.
I parked in the village of West Bretton, which is a 15 minute walk to the park. The village Hall has a big car park, make a donation if you like. Parking is a bit expensive inside the park, and if you are on a timed ticket it means you have to get back to your car within the time you paid for. Not good if you want to mooch around uninterrupted.
There are a lot of photo's so I'm going to split them up. This sculpture is just outside the main building.
This exhibit does not officially open until the 26th, but as it is in the open air the ground has been prepared in advance and the sculpture secured to the ground. Very difficult to get good clear photo's of the detail when it is so big, and against the sky. It looks like a broken and dying tree, but it is made from cast iron. Where the 'wood' splits, the centre has been painted a gold/copper colour.
It really does look amazing from a distance.
I've gooooglied the artists name and found this interesting video on yoootooob. It's not about this tree, but shows how a similar tree is constructed, an earlier sculpture. It also shows how it is moved from factory to the site. Of course I am fascinated by how large abnormal loads are transported.
I don't know anything about the artist who designed these apples, but I like anything a bit quirky.
Bretton Hall is closed at the moment, but I crept up as close as I could to take this photo. The flowers alerted my attention.
Now it is lunch time. I had a visitor this morning, Helen dropped by to give me some things for the cat stall, and some pillows which I will turn into cushions for the church, eventually....when I have a few minutes to spare, ha ha.
Thanks for popping in, I'll post some more pics tomorrow.
