Wall of Art

This is one of a series of sculptures on the Knockan Cliff Trail. It takes the form of a wall supported on a metal arch. It is called 'Thrust', was designed by Frances Pelly and built by Joe Smith and Max Nowell.

    Very cool art!
    Interesting to see the stones upended instead of horizontal.

    At first I thought it was an outcrop of rock. Only after I read your commentary did I realize it was a sculpture. Perfect placement in the landscape. Is the rock used from this area? Imagine walking a trail in this beautiful setting and also be treated to art along the way. Man and Nature as the sculptors!

    Thanks for participating in Monday Mural and already widening the concept. Hope you'll join us again.

    I have just discovered your blog and have had a lovely browse. Your images are beautiful to see. I have holidayed up there a few times over the years and it's a wonderful landscape to see.

    Very cool sculpture. The textures are wonderful. I'm always surprised when these pieces seem to be in the "middle of nowhere"...perhaps your back is to somewhere, and it just looks remote. Nicely done.

    A wall sculpture! What an amazing idea! Love the ragged, rocky outline at the top of the wall - almost like a wave of rock! So beautiful in a picturesque setting!
