We live in the Cotswold Water Park surrounded by dozens of lakes formed from spent gravel pits. This one is a couple of miles stroll. One of the nicest sunsets we’ve witnessed here – all the better for the low clouds that were moving in.

One of the “Town Giants” in Milton Keynes, UK. This sculpture is one of the 200+ public works displayed in the town and was presented to the Milton Keynes Parks Trust in June 1992. It is situated just off the Skeldon Gate, at the side of Campbell Park. [Sony a350, Sigma 17-70@17mm, f:8, 1/400sec, ISO-100] Chain Reaction: Ray Smith, 1992 / Mild steel, laser cut and painted / Skeldon Gate, off Silbury Boulevard / Commissioned by Milton Keynes Development Corporation and donated to Milton Keynes Parks Trust _Ray Smith is well known for his imaginative commissions for public places and for his sensitive responses to the often complex functional and aesthetic requirements of a particular site. His work ranges from individual sculptural and painted works to entire urban design projects incorporating street furniture and metalwork. Chain Reaction was commissioned for its site in Campbell Park and sponsored by a large number of local developers. It has been designed to be viewed from every angle. Ray Smith describes the work: ‘The basic idea for the sculpture is the simple notion of slotting one flat cut-out figure into another to create …a three-dimensional model of figures balanced like acrobats. The forms are simple and universal…..The figures that make up the column are links in an endless chain. The structure is large in scale but also refers to tiny self-replicating molecular structures. Chain Reaction pays homage to the Endless Column of Brancusi. It refers to our aspirations but has its feet firmly planted on the ground’. [From MKWeb Just for size reference: /

Octo: Wendy Taylor, 1980 location / Stainless steel, water / Outside Norfolk House and Ashton House, on the corner of Silbury Boulevard and Saxon Gate, Milton Keynes, UK / Commissioned by Milton Keynes Development Corporation and sponsored by, and donated to, Norwich Union Insurance Group Octo was commissioned specifically for its site in Milton Keynes. Its twisting ribbon of stainless steel makes a figure of eight when viewed from one direction but changes radically as the viewer walks around the sculpture. The ribbon is based on a Möbius strip (with a double twist), a mathematical term describing a continuous surface created by twisting a long rectangular strip of stainless steel through 180º and joining the ends; the form neither has an inside nor an outside. The artist has sited the sculpture on a pool of water to emphasise its point of contact with the surface and to set up a continual play of shifting reflections as the shining sculpture reflects in the water and in the surrounding mirrored buildings. The sculpture is a memorial to Lord Llewelyn-Davis. [From MKWeb] / . / The name Octo comes from the Greek word for “eight”. The status is also locally know as “Eternity” Note: I have copied the text from the site above verbatim, but I personally disagree with one point – this isn’t a Mobius strip!

Bradwell Windmill, off Grafton Street V6, Milton Keynes The New Bradwell Windmill was originally built on an acre of land purchased by Samual Holman in 1803. / / Before Bradwell Mill was built people from the area probably relied on water mills on the Ouse or Bradwell Brook. It has been beautifully restored to working order by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation. Inside there are 3 floors, the stone floor, the bin floor and the dust floor at the top. On the front of the mill you can see one of its original millstones used to grind the flour. An item of Bradwell Windmills eccentricity is the small fireplace on the ground floor. Only one other mill in Britain is known to have taken this extraordinary risk as flour dust is notoriously explosive. Very few visitors to the Mill ever notice the flue opening outside. New Bradwell Windmill is now a Grade II listed building. Legend has it, that the Mill is being haunted… In 1685 the daughter of a local miller was sought in marriage by two youths, one of whom killed the other in a fit of jealousy. After which he was gibbeted for his crime and shortly afterwards the girl herself was found dead in one of the upper compartments of her father’s mill. Her ghost is now said to haunt Bradwell Mill. Opposite to the mill is another interesting local site, the Grafton Street Aqueduct which carries the Grand Union Canal over Grafton Street.
