    I like the brick in the wall with the lichen. Now that challenges the mind. A bunch of boulders strewn on the lawn is not enigmatic or thought provoking to me. I guess you had to be there or my minds in sleep mode.

      I think you’re right… in the context it was interesting. But I did ask my husband who studied art what it was that made something like that ‘art’ as opposed to you and me, David, arranging bits of stuff and it just being bits of stuff!

      I actually agree… but the context, and being on the vast cathedral lawns did make it look more dramatic than my picture probably shows… But basically it was ‘just a bunch of boulders’!
