Friday Bench: A grand day out

Willow
This amazing wrap-around sculpture by Laura Ellen Bacon can be seen at the Holburne Museum in Bath until October 4th 2015.
Her artist’s statement on her website says:
“I relish the opportunity to let a building ‘feed’ the form, as if some part of the building is exhaling into the work.”
Friday Bench: A Sneaky Peek
It cost £3.50 to enter the Sand Sculpture Festival at Weston Super Mud Mare recently. Or you could stand on this wall cum bench for a sneaky peek for free.
Not For Sale
It took me a while to spot the dog amongst all the soft toys, who I must say did look most comfortable. The sign says “Bracken is not for sale”.
Friday Bench: Bike Queuing Area
An improvised bench seen from the window whilst my train stopped at Bath Spa station. The Bike Queuing Area sign is new too and I’m intrigued why this station needs one and others don’t.
Friday Bench: Two Tunnels
The Two Tunnels stretch of the Sustrans cycle path in Bath is proving to be most popular since it opened last summer. We had an enjoyable walk through both last month and discovered quite a surprise in the tunnels themselves. However, it’s more appropriate today to focus on the bench at the start of our walk.
The people featured were voted by residents for their resonance with Bath. They are a Roman centurion, Harry Patch (the last Tommy) and Winter Olympic gold medallist Amy Williams.
Friday Bench: Pod
This Way
Perhaps the sign is needed because it’s so tempting to follow the path of flowers?
Friday Bench: St John’s Hospital
A delightfully hidden corner of Bath I didn’t know existed until recently.
Friday Bench: Donated By…
