Thanks Debi 🙂 We’ve got quite a few interesting public sculptures and pieces of public art dotted around Glenrothes, I’ve set up a category on the blog, and will hopefully photograph most of them over the next few months 🙂
They are one of my favourites. I think my least favourite Glenrothes sculpture is the group of fake “standing stones” on the roundabout between Glenrothes and Falkland (I think that’s where they are anyway) because they look like petrified mattresses.
Lol!!! I know what you mean Laura, they do look very out of place, and far too regular in shape to be real standing stones! Bed mattresses is a perfect description!! Mind you, when I get around to photographing them, I may well enthuse about them, but that will be for geological reasons, not for archaeological or art reasons!! 🙂
That’s the other thing that annoys me about them: that area has plenty of genuine standing stones around so why lob some fake ones on a roundabout? Plus it obscures vision when driving. Can you tell I hate them?
I don’t know about that. I like your ‘attempts’ as you call it. I think it’s very good. I can’t for the life of me do Haiku. Rhymes yes, but not Haiku. The only Haiku I will be able to do is:
Five syllables here
Seven more syllables there
Are you happy now???
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s the best Haiku I’ve seen!!!!!!!! I only went for the Haiku idea because it seems easier to me, it’s the rhyming bit I struggle with. Mind you, I’m very old fashioned, I don’t really understand the difference between a bit of poetry that doesn’t rhyme, and a normal piece of prose! To me, all poetry should rhyme! LOL! 🙂
Thanks Gilly, you’re right, I am enjoying trying them out 🙂
You’re right about the Twa Heids kissing, of course, but you can tell my age, ‘talking heads’ just had more of a ring to it 🙂
These ‘Twa Heids’ are great, and they remind me of totem poles. Your photos of them are lovely but I can’t decide whether I like the b/w or the colour best. All of them show the heads very well. Well done with your haiku!.:)
That is one interesting work of art! I like your Haiku Fife!
