A couple of weeks ago I went back to Cerne Abbas to do the circular walk again with art as my focus. (you can see more of the walk here, here and here)
The Giant itself is a piece of landscape art
humans being drawn to make a mark on any surface they come across, even scrawling on barn doors.Whilst walking I noticed shapes and outlines with doodles in mind
… imagine that stag-horn-like petal on the left in a mandala or doodle
Joining Cee’s Flower of the Day: Knapweed
Wood lying around, like sculptures reminded me of Anthony Caro’s work.
Bits that show signs of human history intrigue me, as well as the interaction of other creatures – can you see the cobweb in the picture below?
Hints of Barbara Hepworth here

Two Figures (Menhirs) 1964 Dame Barbara Hepworth 1903-1975 Purchased 1964 http://www.tate.org.uk/art/work/T00703
And Chris Drury here.
If you click on the photo above it will take you to my Photo Page where you can see it in more detail, especially the lichen.
The picture above is a work by Chris Drury called the Wheel of the Year

Every so often I did look up and out at the glorious landscape
But mostly my camera was set to Macro.
Have you enjoyed any walks this week?

What a keen eye you have. Beautiful, natural works of art. The Chris Drury stump is spectacular.

Jen, thank you for your lovely comment. That stump! All those years of weathering – you could just dive into it couldn’t you!

I love going on these walks with you. You see art and beauty in things that many would pass by without noticing. That’s awesome. Don’t ever lose that. The pictures are great––the entire post is great! 😀

I realise that now I go for an organised ‘Healthy’ walk on Tuesday afternoon, I am less likely to go walking on my own with a camera! I like coming with you though.

I love the circles on the tree stump. I spend a lot of time on walks looking for the everyday unusual, amazing where inspiration can strike. I will post a walk we did shortly.

You are so right about inspiration coming from anywhere and everywhere – I love the ‘everyday unusual’ as well – great way to put it.
