Sculptures and Reading, really, art in Reading? Spent the day in Reading with my bruvver Paul the other Saturday, and being me I suggested we wander around the town to see what we could see.
Well, for me at least, I was gladdened to find that there were a number of sculptures around the town.
Was quite taken by the Friar, by Elizabeth Frink (wow I've actually heard of her! - arts ed), for something so large and lifelike, it seemed to me to be quite ghostly?
My lion photo, is the back view of the Maiwand Lion, in Forbury Park. I do have a photo of the front of it, but not to hand at the moment. But the photo does not give you get a good sense of the scale. This is one enormous Lion! The park is just a couple of minutes walk from the High Street, and is worth heading for to find a little bit of calm in Central Reading.
