Sculpted landscape

I’ve taken my first trip across the Pennines, from the urban might of Manchester to the open countryside of Yorkshire. The piece of landscape I chose is an unusual wonder – a park peppered with beautiful and beguiling sculptures. Work from the greats including Henry Moore and Antony Gormley appear around every corner.

That morning at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the ground was covered in frost and a mist hung in the hills and trees, and the park’s lake was delicately frozen. The sun eventually cut through the eery gloom to create some delightful scenes. For a lad from the urban heart of a great northern city, it’s heartening to be able to escape to the wilderness with ease.

A gorgeous place to get out and about, Mike, and somewhere that’s been on my list for a while now!

  You must and should, Richard. And it’s not a million miles from Manchesterford either!

  Hi Noeline, yes, worth traversing the Pennines for this. I chose the right morning for it too. Very atmospheric!

I love the photo of the mist. The ’10 pairs’ is creepy…

  There was a lot of mist that day! As well as the big feet there was a big bum.

      No, it was a throwaway one for a Facebook post or something. But nice ;-)
