Big Man

We were up at an ungodly hour today, as Victoria and I had to catch a train to go to the Birmingham University open day.

The campus has lots of interesting sculptures, including this one which is "Faraday" by Edouardo Paolozzi. You can read more about the statue and the sculptor here.

The statue is at the west gate of the campus, and I didn't noticed it when we arrived there - pretty incredible, considering it's over 5m high!! In my defence, we were being processed by eager student helpers who were checking registrations, handing out goody bags, etc. I saw it as we left, and took this picture .

You can see a few more pictures from my day in Birmingham - all taken on the new compact thingy - here.
