Do you mean Anthony Gormley…?

Too many discussions about Aliens! Of course.

Loved 'Another Place' in Crosby. Saw one of his installations in London last year (I think it was) and some of his Toast pieces in Liverpool a few years back.

I used to live very near there when I was a student. Never got bored of seeing it.

It may not be a contest as to who has the biggest err one, but here in a Scotland near Grangemouth we have the Kelpies. Amazing sculptures.

Scared the s*it out of granddaughters when we met them at Solstice Park for a travel stop on that wonderful A303

I really like that Den.
Love the frame too which I'm guessing is yours ?
The background as well the patina is my kind of thing

Art is a manmade creation. So beauty alone doesn’t cut it I assume…?!

Its the sort of tree I would draw if given a pencil ...........also reminds me of an African orchid tree or a really old Baobob ...........I bet that will eventually give some absolutely extraordinary burrs once it finally succumbs to the elements

I think it’s dead, mate. It has ceased to be…!
I can’t be absolutely certain mind you. It’s very heavily retrenched if not; a natural life cycle clearly visible in the mighty oak. It still has much to offer. Left standing, it has infinitely greater wildlife value than if removed, or even felled and left to rot.
Artists and engineers alike marvel at the design of the natural world, as much it’s beauty…

Yes, and no. That's not actually how the tree looks. So where do you draw the line between the natural beauty and the photographer's art and interpretation of what is a beautiful subject.

Every photo in the history of man has been manipulated in some way or other. Ergo 'beauty' as you seem to be coining it can only be experienced in the instant of existence, through our own eyes. And there's not a lot wrong with that (especially if you study Zen)
