Drover

Langley Hill, above Stanley Pontlarge, Glos. view map

We found this wood carving high up on Langley Hill - it gave me quite a shock to see a figure and his dog sitting serene and looking contemplatively over the beautiful early summer's countryside, until I noticed he hadn't moved on our approach. Closer inspection revealed he was made from the tree stump he's sitting on!

Sunday 24th's entry to the May Challenge; click here for others going wide this month, possibly from on high too...

See below for the inscription on his tree stump:

This is nice, I like it but can see how it wouldn't last as the timber dried out more and more.

Very creative to hack at a tree stump and with a chain saw and create this piece. But, where's the dog?

Super image Doug, the sculpture, the lad and the singular tree make up a captivating triangular composition which works really well! v

Cool find! His acting needs a little work though, he's a bit, err, wooden. lol :o)
