The second of the mud sculptures commissioned by local artists Sue and Pete Hill.
The mud maid has a custom built hollow framework of timber and windbreak netting to which sticky mud was applied. Her hands and face are a mixture of mud, cement and sand originally coated with yoghurt to set the lichens growing.
The mud maids head is planted with Woodsedge and Montbretia and Ivy has been trained to clothe her.
Sue and Pete Hill began their career in Heligan and have since worked nationally and internationally. In 2006 they were invited to create a sister to the Mud Maid for the 4-Head Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show.
They are currently creating a new sculpture at the Eden Project.
Sometimes the mud feels so good I find it difficult to leave it behind! It's great to walk through mud and feel it squishing between the toes :)
The last mud pit in the 2017 Mud Run Race at Camp Pendleton's annual event. There was only a quarter of a mile left at this point. Tough race but fun to photograph.
In a wet woodland at the bottom of Springvale, Cwmbran, someone had constructed a boardwalk to get over the extensive patches of wet mud. Someone else has demolished them across their entire length, leaving just the posts as a sort of Krypton factor challenge. Fall off and you lose your foot in the deep mud. I fell off.

A divine union of cream and chocolate. On a bed of crumbly cookies doused in butter. A wicked indulgence for all those chocolate-lovers.
Those images were taken at Mud Lake in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Its a nature reserve in the heart of Ottawa. Its pretty impressive to see in person.
The Iglesias red muds are a mining waste dump located on the outskirts of the Sardinian city. They are a mixture of clay, water, iron, and other metals, which are highly toxic and harmful to the environment and human health.
The dump was created in the 1950s and 1960s, when the mines in the area were still in operation. In the years since, it has been the subject of numerous protests by environmentalists who have denounced the risks to health and the environment.
In 2018, the Italian government approved a plan to remediate the dump, which is scheduled to be completed by 2030. The plan calls for the removal of the red muds and their safe disposal.
The remediation of the dump is a complex and expensive operation, but it is essential to protect the environment and human health.
I have tried to keep the translation as close to the original as possible, while also making it clear and concise. I have also included some additional information, such as the date the plan to remediate the dump was approved.
I fanghi rossi di Iglesias sono una discarica di residui minerari, situata alle porte della città sarda. Sono una miscela di argilla, acqua, ferro e altri metalli, altamente tossici e dannosi per l'ambiente e la salute umana.
La discarica è stata creata negli anni '50 e '60, quando le miniere della zona erano ancora in attività. Negli anni successivi, è stata oggetto di numerose proteste da parte degli ambientalisti, che hanno denunciato i rischi per la salute e l'ambiente.
Nel 2018, il governo italiano ha approvato un piano di bonifica della discarica, che dovrebbe essere completato entro il 2030. Il piano prevede la rimozione dei fanghi rossi e il loro smaltimento in sicurezza.
La bonifica della discarica è un'operazione complessa e costosa, ma è essenziale per proteggere l'ambiente e la salute umana.

I made this ball of mud a few days ago when I was walking on the trail along the river.
And left it to dry...
Today I was there again, and found the ball, dry and hard. So hard that I could not crush it right away.
I guess my little experiment had shown the proof the real houses could be built of mud bricks.

Buying a shift lens is one thing, I still need to learn a lot about using it. I've made a DIY grid for my focusing screen and I use a bubble level in the camera hot shoe at the same time. Still I don't always get it right.
I've uploaded this one with borders just to show that this time I was really lucky ang got it almost perfectly straight :-)
