This remarkable sculpture of a running hare stands at the Belgium coast in a nature area called ´Het Zwin´, that we visited during our stay in Bruges at the end of November. It´s me standing there next to it (how about the size of the sculpture!), and I was about to take..

this photo of the hare with the North Sea in the background! :)
The name of the bronze sculpture is ´Hospitality´; the animal stands for liberty, independence, dynamics, fertility, strength and individuality. It was made by Barry Flanagan (1941-2009), a Welsh sculptor who is best known for his bronze statues of hares and other animals.
...and there's also a Barry Flanagan who is a Hawaiian singer!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwhat a nice sculpture, looks huge. I like your perspective!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is quite a sculpture!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAs Flanagan is a fairly common name, I'll assume Barry is not at all related to a Flanagan I know of, and so much the better for him.
My eyes popped wide open when I looked at it. It is spectacular!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooie haas.
