Wilsis

By mrswoolybill
Work by Jaume Plensa at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
This is extraordinarily beautiful, but equally disturbing, it's not as three-dimensional as you would think...
Also difficult to photograph, as there's a steep bank down to the lake immediately behind me here...
Thanks for looking,
Moira

A beautifully composed and very well presented image Moira.
I can imagine you becoming the lady of the lake with your camera held high above your headWink

she's beautiful
and this link here illustrates how you have to be in a boat to allow for some technically comfortable distance between your lens and the sculpture

An astonishing sculpture. At once beautiful and disturbing, as you say.

A fine capture, and it does look rather three-dimensional, even if it isn't! So glad you didn't roll down into the lake, Moira, never to be seen again... 😀

I think the way one sees her reflects their own mood at the time. She appears peaceful to me.

The light/shadows and contrast add beautifully to the mood of this sculpture.
