ALIENS IN OUR MIDST

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and three metres, at 13:07pm on Thursday 12th September 2013 off the A85 in front of The Four Seasons Hotel, a one time house built in the 1800's that has been subsequently extended into a luxury hotel on the shoreline of Loch Earn in St Fillans, Perthshire, Scotland.

 

 

The sculptures are called "The Four Seasons" by Rob Mulholland, an installation artist who graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1986 and is now acclaimed internationally. The figures suggest anticipation,awaiting the return of others on a distant passage, a sense of homecoming, a return to and reconnection with our ancestral roots. Time, the passing of it, and the cycle of seasons are also reflected according to the artist.

 

 

They stopped me in my tracks as I drove past, and I returned to photograph them, completely mesmerized by them.
