with Terry and Mitch today. We went to Burghley, probably best known for the annual Horse Trials, but which has amazing gardens as well as stunning architecture. I love the look of this tower. Mostly, though, we wandered through the sculpture park. There is a lot of sculpture on show there, some of it changing annually, some in the permanent collection. There are lots of surprises; a wonderful variety of approaches and materials, mixed media, like the cows, stone, as the reclining woman above, lots of wood ( not surprising in a garden), and metal. I ended up taking over a hundred photographs, many of the sculptures, but also many of the trees and what remains of the flowers in the gardens. We were there for a morning, but I could just as easily have spent all day there. Amazing, and well worth a visit.

You were close to my neck of the woods today Marion. I haven't been to Burghley for a couple of years and it looks like thye've got some new sculptures. It is a fascinating place.
Love the cows, can you attribute the artist?
The only thing I knew about Burghley were my britches (grin).
Have a great time!
Julie, I'm going back, it was amazing! Sally, can't attribute at this point...see next post!
