Irony by pcoulson

Irony

I visited the 500-acre Yorkshire Sculpture Park to see the new exhibition of sculpture Giuseppe Penone " a tree in the wood"
this the tallest of them, L’ombra del bronzo its an imposing 16 metres high, beautiful bronze cast of a lightning- struck tree, has its exposed interior lined with gold leaf that catches the sunlight.
( hence my image title, a water sprinkler against a bronze tree sculpture whilst it was raining)
Oh my! This is made of bronze?! It looks so real, what a talented sculptor!

I would never have thought this was made of bronze. I do see the irony.

I am singing the song now, can't get it out of my head.
