Foundry Worker

Raining whilst I took these photographs hence the lack of colour in the sky
This sculpture in bronze by Stephen Charnock stands on the site of the old Farrington Foundry part of Leyland Motors Ltd (Truck and Bus company)
it was commissioned in 2006 by Morrisons supermarkets Ltd, they now have one of their superstores in this retail park area,

That's a great looking sculpture Peter - and a nice shot of it too.

Fabulous sculpture and love how you have shown the different angles in the diptych.

[Peggy Scroggins]

What a great stature and photo's.

@terryliv Thank you Terry for your lovely comments, it was very wet out there and shoppers with umbrellas keep getting in the shot:)

@onewing Thanks so much Babs, not easy to get an unobstructed image either way, right image people and cars went through the shot, left image have the main road in the background with cars and lorries stopping for the traffic lights just out of the shot, lol:)

@miata2u Thanks Peggy for your comments , I must admit was inspired by your stature images, went out in the rain to capture him this afternoon:)

Гимн труду! Хорошая скульптура!

[Peter]

@simta Спасибо вам за ваши прекрасные комментарии Татьяна, современный комплекс завода был построен в 3 км от этой позиции, чтобы заменить старый сталелитейный завод, грузовики все еще производятся там и по сей день, я думаю, что есть работник делает ту же самую работу, как это скульптура изображает: )

Cool shots, Peter. I think the fact that it was raining benefits the shots - I like the shine! Just seems right.

@stray_shooter Thanks for your great comments Ron, shoppers must have thought me mad taking photographs in the rain,lol:)
