This Ghost in the Gardens sculpture was situated close to the Ghost sculpture of the Female Merchant posted a few days ago. Here a fisherman and his rod and box are on the banks of the River Foss in the grounds of the Merchant Adventurers Hall.
As you can see, the River Foss doesn't look too good, with a thick layer of blue-green algae on it's surface. This is due to the very slow rate of flow of the river water due to the spring / summer drought that we have had. I really wouldn't want to taste anything that the fisherman caught here!
It does look like a real ghost. You have to enlarge quite a bit to make out the wire mesh. Well done to the artists. Thanks for sharing this lovely picture.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I thought the fisherman made a great subject, but I'm not sure fishing could be my thing. I'm too inquisitive about what is around the next corner or over the next hill to spend long hours waiting for a catcht!
Thank you Paul. The biggest problem with some of these isn't to do with the sculpture, but where they are located and how the light falls on them. I do agree, this is one of the better ones.
