Odd Oaks by Nicholas Pope

The four wood elements resemble giant acorns – it’s interesting to see how the change of locations affect the way we react to this work. Originally located in Werrington Shopping Centre, the work is now based in Thorpe Meadows. Odd Oaks was decommissioned in 2011 but left in situ in Thorpe Meadows to allow nature to take its course.

I resumed my sculpture trail in Peterborough Sculpture Park one Sunday morning for a final run last 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).
