Day 346/23. Almost up to his knees.

Antony Gormley’s sculpture entitled “Sound II” has stood in the Crypt below Winchester Cathedral since the late 1980s. During the rainy months, the mysterious sculpture can often be found holding water in its cupped hands, silent in contemplation as the level rises around him to cover the stone floor. You can see the tide mark in the backgroud to see how high the water has risen in the past.
I guessed after the recent rain the crypt would be flooded. Indeed it was, and 'Sound II' is in water almost up to his knees. In the dry summer you can take tours of the crypt when it is bone dry. Right now, you'll need waders.
Extra picture today shows the cathedral all lit up ready for Christmas.
