I had the pleasure of visiting Prof Hillier today. He's a retired physiologist but now makes sculptures out of metal and donates them to public places so I went to talk to him about something for the 50th anniversary of the school I'm a governor at. His garden is full of sculptures and he encourages photographers to wander and lets you do anything you want with the photos! He has a massive camel under construction which will be appearing in his garden very soon and will no doubt stop the traffic again! The photo isn't very good I'm afraid as I was trying to maintain polite conversation and wasn't really able to concentrate but it gives you an idea of his talents. http://www.hilliersculpture.co.uk/ for more info.
Huge thanks to everybody who voted for my Artist Challenge photo - I am very proud of all the votes it got and had even thought of the next challenge but I was pipped at the post so I'll have to try harder next time!
Amazing stuff here & you were so lucky to get to meet the artist too ! The old guy looks a bit like Andy Capp & of course anything to do with hens ....! I have never heard of him before this photo so I have learnt something !!! You did very well with your artist challenge with stiff competition !
Ha...how cool are these! @psychographer I'd also love to have stuff like this in our garden. What a great opportunity to talk to the artist too. Also loved your commentary from yesterday but i'm so behind in commenting to every one!!
