Contemplation, Winchester Cathedral
The water has always been below the Cathedral because “Winchester has a high underlying water table and the cathedral is built on peaty soil, trenches dug below filled with water before any reinforcing work could be done.”
This sculpture was made by Sir Antony Gormley. “During the rainy months, the mysterious sculpture can often be found holding water in its cupped hands, silent in contemplation as the level rises around him to cover the stone floor.”
Hence the title of this photograph - Contemplation
