    Thanks. Yes I think that is the situation exactly. With my late mother the visit to Emergency at Bath RUH was probably criminally negligent. But when things got dramatically worse she ended up in Bristol where they were top notch. Yes, I had to tell the receptionist at her doctors that I am used to seeing my GP the next day in Italy, when they did not have time to see my mother on a previous visit to the UK.

    Great shot, lovely colours. Only thing bothering little bit is camera tilt. It's not problematic with horizon line but the reflections do not look right.

    Hope that you are able to photograph soon, get well!
    Nice shots, only thing what I'd liked to see additionally is some reference giving idea of sculptures' size.

    Such photos remind me one of my favorite songs, "A Crack in the Ice" by Arena...

    The first shot is my favorite, the radiant green and other colours muted, nice combination.

    Thanks. It will take some time, I cannot lift weights for forty days, or drive for two. So it will be one camera one lens for a while.

    Visually there was nothing really that can be used to give a clue. But these groups are generally life size.

    Personally, I find that a very good discipline. Enjoy it while you have to and ring the changes!

    Best wishes,

    Thank you.

    Well the lights were brighter and it was a bit more comfortable.

    I have been there a couple of times, a fascinating place

    T'is a fascinating place. While you are recovering, I suggest a wee video for you. Hopefully it doesn't hurt whilst you laugh:

    This thread is making me so sad that the woods around me is total crap. Some lovely work.

    I'm sure they took that on board. The receptionists at my local practice are attack dogs that are there solely to prevent people getting anywhere near a GP.

    Wow - imagine being wheeled out onto that table in front of an audience.

    Those walls look like they could tell a story or two. Nice red/blue contrast.
