Top of the totem.

Top of the totem.
I never seem to manage two busy days in a row. Went to bed at a reasonable hour but woke up late this morning not in the mood to do anything. Eventually dragged myself out after lunch to visit Homebase where I bought a fencepost, a hacksaw and a tray of violets. Not many people and very well organised. On the way home I decided to have a look at Formonthills, run by the Woodland Trust. I used to go there years ago for a different route up East Lomond, something which is now beyond me. I hardly recognised the place it has changed so much and for the better. Lots of trees and paths and various sculptures where paths cross. When I got to the Totem Pole I had, of course, to carry on up the hill to see if I could see the Lomonds. There they were and, much to my surprise, a trig point for Rhind Hill. It's only a little hill but it's a while since I saw a trig point. Cheered me up no end.

I love the details and textures in the wood, Jean. The colour contrast between subject and sky is perfect. All the best, Joe

Wonderful carving Jean, If those wings are part of the original tree imagine how much of the tree had been removed during it's making.

Well I wasn't expecting to see a totem pole Jean! Beautifully carved and love the upwards view.
Interesting that you saw a trig point. I don't remember when I last saw one, but it was probably at the highest point on Exmoor.

Fascinating sculpture Jean and I guess we're all glad now that you made that stop on the way back home from the shops. Stay safe, chin up, and mask on!

I knew you were going to buy a fence post yesterday.............and then I saw this shot and thought Wow! That's a bit over the top :-))

Seriously though, it's a lovely piece of wood carving.............and I really like the weathered look it has. It's very impressive against the sky and you've captured the detail beautifully!

We have a trig point in our local village at the top of a small hill called The Cliffe.
