Yes that's the place JK

It's an amazing park...but strenuous, walking round twisting paths up and down to see the 600+ exhibits from closeupand at a distance.

I confess many exhibits leave me cold, but those who captured the human form (as I recognise it) held my attention....especially the female ones.

I don't know if you have visited Porcellino in Florence? It's the bronze boar that you give a nose rub, place a coin and make a wish. It's nose is highly polished from the millions of people that have followed the ritual.. I KNOW if we had the two girls and harp in the garden I would spend much more time out there...and that delicious bottom would become highly polished,

:lol:


The exhibits are interesting from another point of view. When you look at these 600+ works of art, you realise why the chance of selling a 'straight' photograph is so difficult.
