Drake's Circus Shopping Mall

May it be a Happy New Year.

"Riding a Wave" 

 is the title of this sculpture by Lucy Glendinning,

which is situated outside the Drakes Circus Shopping Centre, in Plymouth's city centre.

May its exuberance be matched by an indomitable spirit,

 as the city faces the economic storms that continue to  batter it.

Visit Lucy Glendinning's website see her inspiration for the piece 

 

The loneliest tree in Plymouth.

It stands in front of a "concrete forest", an end wall of the Drake's Circus Shopping Mall,

but none of the passers-by seem to give it a glance.

Red Riding Hood and the Wolf go shopping.

Who would have thought that these two would ever have got together?

There is little sign of a "Christmas Rush" yet.

Buy one get two free.

Christmas in the Mall

If you were dropped blindfold, into almost any shopping mall in the UK, when the mask was lifted you would have precious few clues as to where you are, because they are all virtually the same.

For the record this one is the Dake's Circus Shopping Mall, in Plymouth

Relaxing in the sun

Isn't it just great to take the weight off your feet and chill out on a beautiful day?
