News of this sculpture being on display at Chatsworth House back in the fall of 2008 was enough to get me out of my bed very early one Saturday morning to go and see the full exhibition in the gardens and grounds of this Country Estate and the trip was well worth it because I also discovered the incredible work of Jaume Plensa on the same trip.
But, without doubt, Planet stole the show and it is a regret that the only camera I owned at the time to record this was a Kyocera P&S.
Because of this and my lack of processing skills at the time I have regularly revisited these images to try and tease out a little more from them in an attempt to convey the sheer wonder and spectacle of a giant baby that appeared to be floating effortlessly above the ground.
This is my latest iteration.
I hope you like the work and thankyou for visiting

The grounds at Chatsworth are a beautiful, idyllic place to explore, especially when touched by autumnal colour.
Sarah shared a genius idea with me on Saturday. We were talking about favourite seasons and she mentioned that she doesn't have a favourite season, instead she likes aspects of all seasons. Her idea is to somehow make it so that every day has four seasons:
Mornings would be Spring, full of vitality and freshness.
Lunchtime would be Summer, blue skies and sunshine, perfect for all fresco dining.
Afternoons would be Autumn, with scattered sunlight, scarves and the beauty of trees shedding their leaves.
And then the evenings bring Winter, cold, with snow outside and a warm fire.
Sounds like heaven to me.

Part of the current "Beyond Limits" sculpture exhibition currently running at Chatsworth estate in conjunction with Sothebys (the idea is chatsworth have something to boost visitor numbers, sotherby's get a higher profile and easier viewing environment for a collection of sculptures that they are auctioning).
Shame the weather was a bit bland on the day we chose to visit, some interesting sculpture in beautiful surroundings, though i think we preferred previous years' offerings (it's been running annually for 5 years now). This was my favourite installation i think, if only i had a bigger garden and lots of money i'd be tempted :-)

Oh, and it's worth saying again, but the colours at Chatsworth on Saturday were just amazing.
