Sculptures at Burghley..

Part of the enjoyment at Burghley is a wander through the sculptures, set in amongst the gardens they are both weird and wonderful…..
Horrible from the back,
The children like those ones, they represent the elements, push a button and they do magic things..
There are many more set in the grounds, some have been there for years, others are changed regularly…
Hope you enjoyed Burghley and her gardens ….

I don't know about sculptures. I like some and not others. - Well it's the same with everything I think. I wonder what magic things those did

Oh Lincslass thank you very much, they are amazing, I love the scaffold pole ball, it is so so clever, I love all sorts of sculpture. Don't know why but just love it, it doesn't matter whether it is modern or not I love it, it gives such an interest to open spaces. Keep thinking I will treat myself to something tall for my garden which is not a flower, but then I price them up and they are so so expensive I will never be able to afford one. lol. Ah well we can all dream can't we. thank you again, loved the pictures.

Tetra there are still two faces and I agree the other one is eerie, they change some of the sculptures so the pods aren`t in the lake now, they have pink hoopy things floating about, not as good as the others.
Hywel, one sprays water, another emits cold air so looks as though its letting off steam, then we have fire, it turns and little red wires appear, another represents new life and little green stems appear as it turns, that sort of thing, I always have a play and set them all going, still being a kid at heart,lol..
Paul I also like the shells, I know they are all works of art but not all that keen on the newer ones, cannot really say I like the ones made of gas piping...
Olive you are very welcome, they used to have one made from childrens toy cars, it was massive and very good, sadly not there now..
They are gorgeous Dawn, some of them will eat from ones hands in the winter, thats when I like to see them with their antlers...

He has a way with animals, they were like bees around a honeypot!

Hmm, I think the first one looks like a giant Allium head! Not a fan of sculpture like this, but we don't all like the same things, do we? Lovely pic of the Deer. Aah!! : o ))

They've changed quite a few since we went Lincslass. That face used to be set up in the trees so it looked down on you..quite eerie that was. Did they have any still in the lake? When we went two of the best were in there.
