One of my neighbours got excited once when I said I was thinking of putting some 'naked ladies' in the garden....he didn't realise they were autumn crocus...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

I missed reading this one, what fun! I don't think I'd like lions or a "Thinker". I'd rather have something more natural, like a deer. I have real deer but we had to fence parts of the garden as they thought it was a deer cafeteria! A deer statue would look pretty but not eat my plants.
Chris Beardshaw is gorgeous, but I wouldn't want a statue of him. Don't suppose OH would care for it either!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
OH's taste is more Susannah York, Felicity Kendall (when she was in the Good Life). Actually, when looking round gardens when we were last in England we saw some lovely statues, especially in Pashley Manor gardens and there was a nice one in Borde Hill, also Waterperry in Oxfordshire. We liked the graceful young women ones. Here is a Pashley Manor one.
And here is one from Waterperry. But I expect they are very expensive.

Love both but especially the first one.
i love the first one busy.. but i must say i am more abstract sculpture than figures or animals...
When I look at statues I know that anything I really like will be way out of my price range
