Statue et reflets

Statue outside the Chimei Museum, Taiwan

Frozen garden statues stare

Blankly into nothingness

Eyes that see all but do not

Perceive anything.

I am frozen, cold as ice,

All of me is blank and numb.

I have eyes that see as well,

I'm just a statue.

This is a statue at the Toledo Zoo, it is just beautiful. One of the largest and best done I have seen.

I start back to work tomorrow (Sunday) so won't be on too much over the next couple of days but will attempt to keep up in my early morning and late night quick comments sessions.

Thank you all for you visits and comments. They are appreciated.

For the Ohio Zoo's group, I understand it is not an official animal but posted as I thought people may want to see it. If you would like taken out please let me know.

So you have seen one part of my garden. This is another section and we have this enormous fish statue (Marlin) near the entrance to our house. It's not mine, we are just the custodians of it and I am not sure for how long. The owner and a friend lives in Hong Kong. It raises a lot of interest when people visit us (not at the moment though) some like it and others are not sure.

What does this statue make you think of?

Seen unsurprisingly in Nottingham against the backdrop of the quite beautiful Prudential Building. Here's a link to a Nottingham Post article which says it is the most splendid Victorian building in the City - www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-opinion/nine-best-victor...

As for Clough, an eccentric genius who could get quite ordinary players to play like world beaters but he did it because of the eye for footballing talent in his assistant Peter Taylor. A film about him 'The Damned United' is an insight into the often controversial man who put both Derby County and Nottingham Forest Football Clubs on the map.
