Helios XVI by Barry Mason

Mason’s Helios works are concerned with the passage of the sun and perhaps could be thought of as sculptural calendars. Helios XVI is made of Westwood stone and was commissioned in 1987 by Peterborough Development Corporation. (Source: Vivacity)

I resumed my sculpture trail in Peterborough Sculpture Park one Sunday morning for a final run this month, this time covering the last six sculptures in the list. Located from the car park and onto the south side of Peterborough Rowing Course these six sculptures are grouped together - Mason's Helios XVI, Davies' Untitled, 1990, Angus' Under the Ocean, Under the Sea, Pope's Odd Oaks, Camp's Festival Boat and Nicholson's Creature. Again, I limited myself to an hour and it was fun doing a shoot and run photoshoot. Great exercise, too!

All photos were taken with a micro four thirds camera (https://amzn.to/2K8BUl6) attached with a telephoto zoom lens (https://amzn.to/2YvqiMJ).
