One of my favourite places for a walk at any time of the year is the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I try to visit it during each season because the sculptures always look a little different according to the time of year. I particularly like to see them in the winter, dusted with some snow, but autumn is also a very pretty time to visit this park.
The sculpture in the photograph is called Invasion, by Michael Zwingmann. As you can see, the cylindrical sculptures look like bales of hay from a distance. I think it is very effective.
What is your favourite time of the year for walks? I think each season has something to offer and I even enjoy going to the seaside out of season, because it takes on a totally different mood (as long as you wrap up warm.)

That's really beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I like walking in spring when you can see new plants up every day. Summer gets too hot and fall reminds me that winter is coming and winter in Minnesota is just brutal....

@5thHouse I do wonder how they compare ... In January (our coldest month) it can get as low as -30 F . It's not safe to be out of the house long at those times.

It's made from cast asphalt. I think the idea of it is to portray the contrast between the man-made and the natural. From a distance they really do look like hay bales so the natural and the manufactured merge quite well, but close up they look like big lumps of concrete and it really is a case of the man-made world invading nature.
