It is an original piece of art. Thanks for the explanation otherwise I hadn't understood what is was about.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sculpture...we have some great pieces in the 'big city' but I just can't seem to capture them in their full beauty.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. I think I need to see this one in person. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe town must be proud to have such a fine piece of sculpture on display. Someone has worked hard at keeping flowers looking their best.
ReplyDeleteNot what I would expect in Pickering - how was the response from the public?
