Art in the Park

We came across these eerie grass sculptures on our bike ride this morning.









Two of the figures are being watered and trimmed; the other (dismembered) figure is being allowed to grow wild.





I find them quite disturbing.

Cool to stumble across them, though. And the bike ride was great. (10 miles, through Gatton Park up to the top of the Reigate Hill, then home along the North Downs Way.)

It's been a long day, though. I'm really tired this evening, and having the same weird neurological symptoms that I've had on and off for the past year. I'd go back to the doctor but it seems a bit pointless, given that I've had all sorts of scans and things and they haven't figured out what the problem is. And it's not as though it's getting worse - just flare-ups of the same-old same-old. If I get an early night hopefully I'll feel better in the morning. And I got the latest Alexander McCall Smith book out of the library this morning, so I have something light and enjoyable to read...

I'm so bummed! I really wanted to see the disturbing grass sculptures and the pictures aren't showing up.

Thanks for letting me know they weren't showing up - can you see them now??

I think that they are very cool! I just love the thought that someone is doing spontaneous art out in a field somewhere.
I do admit, though, that the one that is going back to whence it came is a bit eerie.

Eww how weird, I'm not sure if I like them or not. What kind of mind thought of them??????
