The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Lowarnes

11 Sep

Regular readers will remember the fox sculpture being built next door. Tonight was the unveiling of the remarkable sculpture in the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Even having watched  ithe sculpture being constructed in the garden next door over months, to walk down the path and come across the wonderful 6 meter high fox was amazing, a breathtaking moment that actually made me weep. Here she is in her new home where she truly looks as if she has landed in her rightful habitat.

First view as we came around the bend

Crowd in awe

Some sense of scale with the children underneath

Close up of her head

    It does look amazing 😯 . In the right surroundings it is even more amazing and just fits much better than in the front garden of your neighbour.
    Wonderful for you having seen it being built.

    Wonderful. I wonder how noisy it was living next door whilst it was being created.

      It was a bit nosiy when the metal framework was being assembled but very little since and, in fact, any noise was worth it to see the vixen growing and becoming more beautiful every day! 🙂
