The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
Both start with 'R' but this one is a Railway NOT a Royal ....
ReplyDeleteAre you going to start a new collection of hotels?
ReplyDeleteNo, I am sticking with the Royals. This one snuck in because there was a car at the railway station making the photo a bit odd. I hear the railway station is being turned into a cafe which will be nice.
ReplyDeleteJust returned from a holiday in your neck of the woods, Joan. Will post photos soon.
ReplyDeleteThe perspective of the railway is really nice, Joan!
ReplyDeleteThis post about the railway reminded me that, here in Lebanon, a significant stretch of railroad was constructed by the Australian Army during WWII--I think it was WWII. There was a small exhibition of archival photos and contemporary images of the bridges and lines at the ANZAC day commemoration that I attended last week. Amazing.
