The Trees Outside the Academy


This is one of those images - I like it, but I really don't know if its a good image or not.

We were walking back down from the island when I saw this shot - I say saw, but it was at the extremity of my zoom lens, I've had to crop it still further and I still think that it could do with a bit more in that respect. And I can't decide if I should've cloned out the seagull or not.

Sculpture Vulture


A couple more images from the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden visit. The one on the right was taken whilst seeking a brief respite from the rain. I think that the slight 'glow' from the sculpture is probably caused by condensation forming on the front elements of the lens.

Culture Vacuum


What sort of image does the term "sculpture garden" conjure up in your mind?

Perhaps rolling parkland with a few Greco-Roman figures scattered about? Or how about something roughly the size of your own back garden with modernist abstracts poking out from amongst the rhododendrons?

Well, the former is what I was expecting and the latter is what I actually got when we visited the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden in St Ives. We were there recently as part of our Cornish trip. It was actually bucketing down at time, although you can't tell from the image above.
