Éclosion - Hatching

 
I didn't find out who the sculptor was! "The lotus flower has its roots below the water, and its immaculate colour and subtle perfume is offered above the water.  The flower lasts but a few days, yet seeds continue to grow for thousands of years.  In India the lotus is a symbol of fulfilment, hope and femininity.  This sculpture represents man and woman who are born from love when the seeds of pure love are scattered to infinity...."
Well... that explains it... why I could see it as man and woman and had thought it amusing as a double whammy of a phallus!... then read the script! Hey ho... life goes on... as long as there is man and woman!
I think I will end the sculptural journey there, but there were more extremely interesting sculptures but perhaps not as interesting as this one!... and if one took the pathway through the woodland one reached the coastal pathway along part of the pink granite coast!
