Painted Lady

Saw lots of Painted Ladies in Friston Forest, and heard about this news:

African butterflies swarm to UK









Wonder whether I have ever mentioned that I love trees and woods?

Misty

Yes, they made friends. As in, Zebedee, and ... errr... Dougal?

Sunset walk at Seaford Head

Joy of summer evenings

Dismemberment of Jeanne d'Arc, etc.

After a lovely walk in Stanmer Park....



I went to see Dismemberment of Jeanne d Arc, a sculpture/installation by Anish Kapoor in Brighton's Old Municipal Market.



Those above were her legs, I assume, and this is the belly.



...and breasts?



I was as interested in the building itself as much as I was interested in the sculpture in it.



Fascinating space.



In the afternoon, walk at Devil's Dyke.

Sunset at Piddinghoe

I must go for a sunset walk more often.

C-curve by Anish Kapoor

As part of the Brighton Festival, there is an interesting Anish Kapoor sculpture installed on top of one of the South Downs hills, near the Chattri just north of the city of Brighton and Hove. I took Zebedee with me to see it as I thought it'd be a good walk for him at the same time (it's about 25 min. walk from the road to the sculpture). Little did I know... after the first 5 minutes I saw that there were cows in the fields on the way. Two minutes later I saw that there were sheep and lambs on the fields all the way to the sculpture. Ugh! I have a badly bruised arm now from trying to control an extra-super eager springer spaniel on his road of temptations... sheep! lambs! everywhere! whoo-hoo!

Anyway, here are a few shots:



There it is, on top of the hill.



(And this is the Chattri - I've photographed it before.)
