I was on my way home from Inverurie and I was a little ahead of time before I had to pick my wife up from work, so I decided to stop and have a quick walk to pass half an hour, so I pulled of the inverurie road and headed for the Tyrebagger car park, I grabbed my camera and a started walking round the red marked footpath, which the footpaths were in great condition

Paths were great condition
I found a couple of sculptures at the start and did not realise they were sculptures, like a rippled piece of metal on the ground, maybe it's me but I dont see this as art myself, my defenition of art is this

thats why I call myself sketch, as I sketched these two earlier last year, but getting back to the walk, I continued on for a few more minutes and came across a wooden construction

it was back to the car, as I approached my car I went to my pocket for the car keys and started to panic as I could not find them thinking I was going to have to go round again I found them and guess were they were in the ignition for all to see, how lucky is that. or should I say how stupid is that,

Nice report sketch, I'm with you on the art front with regard to some of the strange 'sculptures' on display at Tyrebagger, I walked round here in January and came across this....

I do like some sculptures such as the Angel of the North, or Another Place by Anthony Gormley but random uplighters don't do it for me :wtf:

I'm with you all the way on that, I spend a lot of time sketching and I prefer realism, hence I do a lot of portraits, thanks again ChrisW for taking time out to read my reports
