We saw Gormley’s “Horizon Field” in Austria, probably 10+ years ago. It’s an amazing work, and the figures made me appreciate the sheer scale of the valley. But – it’s difficult to get up close to many of the statues there (at least for someone like me. whose hiking is slow, and rock-climbing skills non-existent!)

Juliet – you’d love the Gormley statues – visitors interact with them on the beach – it’s wonderful to observe and participate in….

The Anthony Gormley figures have been on my “must do” list for a long time…
My nephew is about to move to LIverpool, so now I have a good excuse to visit that part of the world.

That takes me back – I can remember as a child being convinced I could see New York. The key was looking hard enough!

Liverpool–who knew it was more than the birthplace of the Beatles? Thanks for telling us the whole story, Janet–I can just imagine you gazing out across the ocean at the New York skyline. No wonder you grew up to be such a lover of travel and a small business owner yourself as you followed in the family footsteps!
