The protective fenders and the prominent red life savers take the edge off the "wild thing" image.

Reflection

These are outside the Hull University Business School. From their website: "The sculptures represent themes central to the field of logistics; moving matter, supply and demand, interdependence, and cause and effect, while also emphasising the importance of people within logistics and the supply chain." Also " The pairing of the two figures with these personal archetypes forms a curious drama: a metaphor for man attempting to understand his external and internal worlds." I never would have guessed.

The sculptor is Joe Hillier.

The topic of this moth's theme day is reflections.

Parrots Go For Gold

I mentioned that St Mary's in Cottingham had been having a spot of bother with vandals stealing the lead off the roof. Well here's another problem that you really couldn't make up. These are Orange Winged Amazon parrots and have been living in the area for a while. Indeed they have been reported on the local news programme for a spot of ecclesiastical vandalism. They ate the gold leaf of St Mary's recently renovated clock! They're also extremely noisy little beasts.

This is the inside of the church I featured the other day. There are some fine stained glass windows, reflecting the wealth of the patrons of the parish.
