I reckoned I had nothing to post for Paula’s Black & White Sunday: Sculpture, until I remembered a visit to a Sculpture Park three years ago…. So I may be a few days late, but apparently that doesn’t matter.
Here’s one I found from then (almost would have done for the Creepy WP challenge, too!):
Unsettling sculpture….
Somehow the top eye socket doesn’t look quite empty (something to do with the shadow and light), but the bottom one certainly does…
Find more over at Paula’s blog here.

Wow, that is really creepy..imagine going for a walk in the woods and coming cross this! Yikes 😮
Yikes indeed.it was a bit of a surprise 😧
No kidding!!
Interesting and so very haunting, love that it is in black and white.
Thanks, Charlie….it needed B&W to bring out the shape and texture
That is one massive head! I love it in B&W—good job. Ω
Thanks, Allan! It was quite a size.
What is the sculpture made of? Nice shot BTW Sue.
I actually don’t know!
Oh my, when I first looked at it I thought why didn’t you posted it for “creepy”. Thank you, Sue, this is far more than I have expected and I always expect a lot from you 🙂 If you wonder if I l like the processing you did here- I love it!
Love the fact you expect a lot from me, Paula! Yo obviously think I raise the bar quite high…. And pleased you like the processing 🙂

I like that sculpture a lot. And the B+W works well too, Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete! 🙂
Oooh… That is creepy for sure, Sue! You are right about the top eye socket…brrr… It is watching us!
😧
Oh, yes, creepy… and I see what you mean about the top eye socket. Great photo though.
Thanks Jude, I suddenly remembered this!
Unsettling it is. Are those spikes of green in the grass, or is it my 3am eyes? Beautiful composition if not beautiful subject matter!
No green – it’s all B&W, kind of sepia
Alright. Seeing things now – last time about one of your photos it was NOT seeing things.
Which one was that?
Negative space – which was really full of details, except the sun got in the way!
Oh, right…..
Great in B/wW
Thanks! It’s far better in monochrome….
I agree about the eyes, I much prefer the top one. Was this garden at your side of the country? I do love sculpture!
Yes, it was in Surrey. Not sure if it still exists
The way you have framed the sculpture makes your photo into an expression of its own. Quite a spooky, disturbing or unsettling expression. A very strong photograph.
Many thanks, Otto….I spent a bit of time getting the composition originally, and when I found the image again today, I converted it to monochrome to strengthen the unease, as it were. I very much appreciate your comment 🙂
What an impressive sculpture! I agree with you about it being creepy, especially in B&W. 😕
It is an impressive sculpture, but to my mind it leaves you wondering about what the sculptor was really saying with this….
Very creepy indeed Sue. Stumbling upon this I am afraid would bring out a serious squeal form me. 🙂
Do you really squeal, oh adventurous one? Surely not 😳
Oh yes when surprised or scared I let out some gasping squeal sound to which my family shakes their head.
Tsk….they should be coming to your rescue!
Haha it’s not usually that I need rescuing I just tend to be noisy when surprised. 🙂
Oh, glad to hear yo are made of sterner stuff!
Very good, Sue. It took a while for my eyes to adjust as the shadows provide an element of camouflage. Where is teh Park? – I like its wildness
Thanks, Debbie — it’s the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden http://www.hannahpescharsculpture.com/m/
This is a wonderful photo, Sue. You truly captured all those waves of disturbingness. It’s like some kind of portal to the deep subconscious, that murky place were most of us fear to go. It has a certain beauty too.
Loved your comment, Tish…I think you have eloquently expressed what I was portraying here!
that is excellent 🙂
🙂
yes, kind of creepy, I agree. Works great as a B&W photo.
Glad you like it, Cardinal! 🙂
Very good! I like this one, unsettling or not 🙂 Reminds me that I want to go to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park this Autumn. (yikes! Did somebody say the A word?)
September has come, it is hers
Whose vitality leaps in the Autumn
Whose nature prefers
Trees without leaves and a fire in the fireplace

That’s nice! I was going to say I’m clinging to Summer but the rain is bouncing and the thunder rolling 🙂
Might as well face up to Autumn….
Nope! I’m off to the Algarve 🙂
How did I guess? How long for?
2 weeks, closely followed by a wedding in Poland. Keep me busy, don’t they? 🙂
You love being busy! As I used to, always dashing about….
I’ll get my come uppance one day, Sue 😦
I do hope not!
