It's all in Hand.

It has to be a very quick upload today as I'm in the middle of working on a live football match, it is half-time at the moment.

I was on a walk down a local canal towpath when I came across this lovely wood carved or sculpture which shows a hand holding an otter, a platypus duck and a flamingo. Well I think it is but please tell me if you think differently.

I wouldn't mind that in my front garden as a talking point, although it doesn't relate to me as a Magpie. Thanks for all your piggy comments yesterday. I will get round to your pictures later on this evening.

Looks like two otters and a flamingo. Nice sculpture, none the less.

Beautiful sculpture

I can understand the otter but a flamingo is rather odd here? But it does have that flamingo beak!

Cool!

Love the sculpture - but what is a platypus duck?? We have platypus here in Oz but not a duck ?!*?

@gilbertwood Perhaps I should have said a Duck Billed Platypus. Silly me.

Apparently, one of the otters points in the direction of Gloucester and the other towards Sharpness. The flamingo points to WWT Slimbridge. The hand symbolises a desire to see greater harmony between mankind and the natural world.
