Plensa

We are on a Northern progress. First stop St Helen's to look at the Jaume Plensa sculpture on the site of a closed coal mine. She is called Dream.

This one with Colin shows the scale.

Eirene said...: She looks lovely. This is a great shot, but might there be a closer one so that we can see detail?; 22 April 2012 at 10:57
Avril said...: Lots more but it is hard to put multiple shots into blog on the iPad, will add more when I get home.; 23 April 2012 at 09:38
