Interesting shape - sadly the plate telling the observer about this sculpture is missing.

This Horse's Head sculpture marks the starting point of the Town Trail in Llanfair Caereinion. The Welshpool & Llanfair railway station is just out of shot to the left.

Seal and pup sculpture on the promenade at South Queensferry. Real ones are quite a common sight in the Firth, indeed the trip boats have seal watching trips available.

Sculpture of the type of heavy [cold-blood] horse that would have towed barges along the local canals. Pictured outside the administration buildings at the Falkirk Wheel.
