What a feature on a round about ! (1 Viewer)

[Allan & Loren]

This was on a roundabout we saw in France last summer when on our way to provence and the south coast. I thought it was brilliant, much better than some of ours

That is fabulous

Yes there are some lovely & unusual roundabout sculptures all over Spain. Some good ones are between Sagunt & Zaragoza . St.George & the Dragon, Giant Serrano ham, Horses, etc.
Around Alicante & the tourist areas they have a penchant for rusty steel sculptures supported by stainless steel . very odd stuff. Then along the coast you get the obligatory fishing boats on nearly every roundabout. Mazarron & Bolneuvo we have old road rollers, steam engines , bulldozers.
You become immune to them in the end & I rarely notice any unless it is completely odd/unusual ,or someone else comments on them.

This is the view of the Horns Bridge roundabout from the air.


Very good if you've got your own helicopter ........

Should have a photo attached should be here!

Excellent.

Johnny foreigner does have some excellent roundabout art and so do the Moroccans.

We do have the odd blaze of colour some of the year.

And there is this.............

Try googling "roundabout sculpture" - there's loads of lovely stuff.
One of my favourites is Spitfire Island, Castle Bromwich

Damn, beat me to it.

I'm sure I've seen a more solid one somewhere. Maybe this one....

I go through Chesterfield regularly to get to the M1 but I've never spotted your sculpture. Whatever it is. Just looked on Google Streets, it all gets a bit hectic there, not a time to be admiring odd sculptures, staying alive is number one priority.

Almost, next door where Jaguar is now. B&Q may have been the airfield to get them out of the factory and give Johnny Foreigner a good spanking.

In Cardiff we can offer what is locally known as 'The Magic Roundabout;'

Locally it is also the location of the local red light district, so don't kerb crawl past it at night.

At summertime I have seen families hosting BBQ's on the roundabout
