An Icarean sculpture seems like a good idea!
Aberdare was bathed in some sun today and the forecast remains good for the rest of the week.
We have added photos of Tom Harvey’s Fall of Icarus to the Gallery.
Sculpted in Indian Cedar and measuring 9′ tall, the sculpture forms part of the Cwmaman Sculpture Trail and is located near St Joseph’s Church, Cwmaman.
It is a pleasure to be able to publish photos of local sculptures. The Cwmaman Sculpture Trail offers a very pleasant walk in a beautiful nook of the Valley reclaimed from former industrial......
This wooden character caught our eye… always a good start.
It is a wooden sculpture of St Dogmael in St Dogmaels about a mile west of Cardigan.
The sculpture is by John Clarke and dates from 2002, commissioned to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
It is located near the lower end of St Dogmaels’s Abbey.
Watch your step. There is a duck pond adjacent to the sculpture!
St Dogmaels village has lots to offer the photographer/tourist. According to Dyfed Archaeological Trust it is “a very distinctive historic landscape character“.
Enjoy the Photos in the Gallery......

Thus we have uploaded photos of the Leaping Dolphin wooden sculpture at Aberporth village, near Cardigan.
In the Gallery in the S + M section here.
For more information on whale and dolphin spotting, take a peek at the Sea Watch Foundation website.
Postscript : One of the most depressing sights of the summer is the sight of people putting their ugly oily machines in the sea so that they can race about on show creating a lot of noise. The pollution caused by these useless toys threatens the natural habitat of many species, not just the bottlenose dolphins....

Photographs of The Arc sculpture by David Annand now available in the gallery.
