Paddling Your Own Canoe


Now that Christmas is well and truly over. Twelfth night tonight. Our thoughts naturally turn to spring, with the lighter nights and hopefully warmer and drier weather.

This carved stonework is part of the kiosk in Highfields where you pay and enter to use the rowing boats on the lake.

You can tell the art deco influence on the carving. Although for some reason the man looks like a Roman Gladiator to me and the kayak looks like the sort Eskimos used to use.

  1. At University I had some classes of carver stonework, I confess it's not my kind of talent and I think it's really difficult.
    This one is wonderful, and your picture is great!
    Have a nice week dear Christopher,
    hugs
