optical illusions



Last weekend we went to a wonderful sculpture park, full of quirky artworks amongst acres of forest. Some were monumental, and some tiny, like these little people leaping through the trees- they are about 30cm tall, and at head height on their rusty plinths.

























The things we liked best though were the shiny ones that made you look twice. These balls were floating in the stream and could be moved around if you could reach them.
























This next picture looks as though the centre section has been pasted in but that's just how I photographed it! There were several tall narrow mirrored pyramids which reflected the surrounding trees and the other sculptures (also strange old women in pink trousers..). 



























A sort of two-for-one optical illusion.


























The reflected sculpture here reminded me of a dreamcatcher.


























This ghostly (or ghastly) figure was making off through the bracken on a penny farthing bicycle.

























And the picture at the top? Who would guess that the inside of an old concrete mixer lorry would look so beautiful?

I'm afraid I don't have the names of the sculptors, but this is the link to the Sculpture Park:
