Following on From my post of a Fortnight ago, this week I am bringing you more of the Fancy Figures we Found on our recent visit to Stapeley Water Gardens.
The First was not Far From the dog and these groups were just a little bit Further on.
This one even had a Fountain.
Stapeley Water Gardens is just outside Nantwich in Cheshire.
You can read this and more on the ABC Wednesday Anthology blog to which the best ABC Wednesday bloggers are contributing.
Other posts can be found via the ABC Wednesday with Mister Linky which carries a registry of participants.
All bloggers publishing an appropriate ABC Wednesday post may register at the Linky blog. To contribute also to the Anthology they need to contact Denise or myself at 3abcge(at)gofast(dot)co(dot)uk for an invitation to be sent via blogger.
That looked like a place to put on our list for places to visit next year.
ReplyDeleteDrat - I thought I would be the only one with Fountain!
I love sculpture parks and the last one took the price this time
ReplyDeleteGreat place to visit. I love all the photos and the fancy figures, especially the 2nd one.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my 'F' for FLYOVER here
Wonderful statues - looks like a great place to be.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
P.S.: I find the description, that the "best" Bloggers participate in the Anthology thing a bit off the mark. I know a lot of most excellent bloggers, who prefer the old ABC over the new one, and just don't want to post there.
FAR out, all these figures! Looks like a fun park.
ReplyDeleteFancy and fanciful indeed. Looks like a great park...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place :-) very nice F
ReplyDeleteHow reat! These statues look so alive! Really amazing!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post.
Kisses from Nydia.
I am definitely putting this place on my list of places to visit next time in England! Thanks so much - I remember when you posted about it before and showed us the dog.
ReplyDeleteI also loves sculpture parks. I visit the Frogner park in Oslo for a few weeks ago. Great post Gerald!
ReplyDeleteWater parks are wonderful places to relax & have fun. Looks like it's stopped raining??
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sculpture park! Everything is so dry and brown here at the end of summer--that green, lush grass is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFancy figures indeed, they are lovely. Very fitting title.

Great Gardens.

Love the sculptures.
Come visit our F,
Troy and Martha
PS: send an invitation via blogger and we will post one photo there starting next week.
Wow...that is amazing. I saw tons of statues today and none were as beautiful as those.
ReplyDeleteFantastic F photos.
ReplyDeleteMy favourites are #2 and #4.
Bear((( )))
This is a truly fascinating place! The sculptures seem to integrate beautifully with the rest of the gardens. I liked the little cherub sitting in the stream and spouting water through his pipe.
ReplyDeleteThe sculptures seem really to dance. I like the man observing them - he reminds me of a Brit I worked with who would be saying "Bloody 'ell" to those while admiring them.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a variety of fancy figures, Gerald. Nice photos. I am taken with the juxtaposition of that sexy woman with the couple paying her no mind. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteGerald, yet another batch of fabulous photographs - my daughter was amazed at the figures and wants me to take her there NOW!! (Quite demanding sometimes she is!!)
ReplyDeleteFabulous choice for F.

What a Fascinating place.
ReplyDeleteGreat 'F' post Gerald.. and I will be paying this place a visit very soon. Love those statues.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I'm following the F .... Flights, fish, ferries, fountains and now fancy figures.
ReplyDeleteT'was a lot of fun.
I thought this sort of thing was only in mainland Europe. I am impressed. These are definitely worth the virtual visit.
ReplyDeleteSo charming, I've never seen a park like this. Brave Buskers, yes, all covered in white like alabaster.
ReplyDeleteIt was just strange to see my update on the CDP thumbnails, i thought I had removed my blog but it takes more than I thought!
that was a brilliant set of fancy figures!
ReplyDeleteVery nice views. It's a beautiful green park and those statues make it lively and, in a way, fabulous.
ReplyDeletewhimsical Garden of sculptures. Nice F, fancy figures Ackworth.
ReplyDeletevery fancy, and quite Funny too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual. I would like to go visit these gardens now that I have seen your photos.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of these, I'd really like to visit!
ReplyDeleteUnusual garden with all those figures and many different shaped ponds!
ReplyDeleteThe lawn is beautiful!
Intriguing place to visit! Looks like a place to take great pictures and have lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my SWF entry this week!
