Sculpture

I love this enormous carved Pegasus sculpture - created from a fine old oak tree on Broomhall Common in Woking that was badly damaged by a tornado in 2007. Instead of felling the tree, Horsell Common Preservation Society decided to commission Captain Chainsaw and the Tree Pirates to create an artwork from the trunk! The quite remarkable result of the project, which can be found opposite the Brewery Road car park, is the stunning Pegasus.

Pegasus is the mythical winged horse of the ancient Greeks, created when Perseus decapitated Medusa.

I'm going to blip a few of the works of art that are scattered around Woking - we have a martian, some strange bear-type statues, and some fountains just to start with...
