Felix in his meadow (WFW23_20)
I'll sneak this one in for WIldflower Week :-)
We had a very good blipmeet at the Garden of Heroes and Villains today.
Set up by Felix Dennis before his death in 2014 it features ~50 stunning bronze statues of figures from history, ledgend and literature. The garden itself has a series of wildflower areas so my blip is the statue of Felix himself looking over one of them. There are quotes from poems on wooden posts and stone shards surrounding him. Often thought provoking.
In the extras, one of 'the few' running to his aircraft and Ros Franklin looking on as Crick and Watson build their model of DNA. Maurice Wilkins does not appear in this one, more on their story here.
Many thanks to ChrispyBox for organising us - as ever a great blipmeet.
The others were:
Technophobe (background on Felix)
Hildasrose
Snaphappysally
Fitzbilly (inc the obligatory group shot)
Interesting to see who we have each picked to blip :-)
