I love this...simply because I admire the engineering that was done to put it all together. Fabulous!

Graffiti in Garner Street,Etruria,Stoke-on-Trent

Its on the main traffic island in Brownhills town centre now...huge, imposing looking thing that makes you think' wooooooooahhhh' even close up. Its dedicated to all the miners of the area and I think its a lovely tribute. It does exactly what is says on the tin - none of this contemporary art tat that means nothing to normal, sane people!

Quite agree,Indy. Here's two "sculptures" in Stoke I wouldn't waste my time photographing.

What a waste of public money. But,hey! I don't live in Stoke-on-Trent so it's not my money that's been wasted!

By the same artist the Castle Vale knight...

The Vale was once a notorious estate (and I guess still holds a reputation) for being a "bit rough", however the sculpture stands proud and un-chavved and really looks the business.
