November 5, 2011 - Totems.

Although a similar shot to yesterday this is actually looking from the centre of the park to one of the edges. This piece of art is made from trees and was placed here in 2006. I couldn’t find too much info on these but the artist was Sushiela Jamieson, and the two links will give you a little bit of background. I can tell you that they are made of green oak. Although I do like this art, there is something I don’t quite get about a sculpture of dead trees in a park full of beautiful living trees?! That might just be me though.

October 8, 2011 - Quiz Day 6 - Space Invader and Green Twiddly Bit

This space invader, as correctly stated by Doug and Matt, is on the corner of Pink Lane with Westgate Road. I sincerely hope no one cheated by looking here :)

The space invaders have been featured here more than I’d realised; even Chris posted quite a few (… in actual fact I think he’s found more than me).

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

Six

I am about 95% sure that I’ve also posted the one on Blackett Street but I cannot find it - your challenge for the day, should you choose to accept it….! (It’s actually the one that’s the profile pic for the facebook group someone mentioned yesterday.)

We haven’t had any green twiddly bits for a while! Where is this one?

October 7, 2011 - Quiz Day 5: Newcastle Business School and Space Invader

The first one that’s not unanimous! So relieved - I thought I was making it all too easy for you.

Does this picture help? If not - how about this one?

It’s Newcastle Business School, built on the site of the old Warners cinema. Well done to Karen @mareymooney and Katie @katieptatie on twitter who both got it right (Karen also got the comment here).

Next question! There are a few of these space invaders around the city centre. Where is this one?

At first I cut out everything except for the plaque but I decided that was too mean :)

January 17, 2009 - Two Picture Saturday - Man With Potential Selves #1

This bronze statue entitled ‘Man with Potential Selves’ by Sean Henry is near Central Station.

There are three parts to this sculpture.

The second one is worryingly easy to walk into.

Two more pictures of this sculpture tomorrow!
