I'm surprised noones knicked it yet.
Is that pinpoint of light in the second pic added in pp Andrew?

Hi Mads - Im sure when people realise theres good scrap metal in the statue they will visit in their hordes !!

One of the town councillors referred to it I believe as 25 tonnes of scrap metal.

Yes the pinpoint was added got some amazing effects in a plugin called Knoll Light Factory, so am currently experimenting with them.

Verity (and her unborn baby Achmed) are a good photographic challenge to see what can be done.

See, now you've said the c word, I'm gonna have to trek over there and have a bash

pays to hold off a few weeks until they finish the surroundings off and move the fences away

I was there a couple weeks back. Verity seems a little dwarfed by the location when viewed from anywhere but up close.

My preferred view was from behind, with her looking out to sea.
