Blue sky in Yorkshire

I’m not big on sculpture inside museums. But, I am fascinated by sculpture integrated aesthetically outdoors. (I’m not into anything that looks too industrial.) We dropped by the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on the way to a christening up north last weekend and found some interesting new (to us) installations. I am not so sure how I feel about the random hare people, but the Deer Shelter? Pack me up a sleeping bag and camp stove because I could live there. As long as the sky is blue anyway… I didn’t read any signs, I just walked into the structure built into the hill, and the shock of light and sky blew me away.

    Shame the deer can’t get in to see the wonders of the shelter too…they can see the sky outside anyway….sheep were chillin’ enjoying the sunshine too. Do you think the guy who built it had seen your pictures from the lava caves?
    Not sure I understand Henry Moore but his work is certainly stimulating
