    Looks like synchronised dwarf-throwing to me. (Supposedly an Olympic discipline as from 2018)

    For people who are in the hospital for orthopedic surgery, this statue is perhaps an inspiration to get well and be active again.

    No children were harmed in the making of this sculpture, right?

    What a beautiful sculpture and setting! I do wonder if the artist has ever assumed that pose...

    Great photos, Kate!

    The texture is wonderful on this sculpture, but please do not try this at home.

    Love it. The sculptor has captured well the sense of joy that can be experienced through a functional family...

    And yes, all your comments came through fine...

    I'm sorry to hear about your surgery. Hope that it's not too serious and that you'll soon be back at the keyboard with nary a hitch in your shoulder (or anywhere else, for that matter!)...
