The View Out of Skyspace Houghton Hall

This was the view up through the open roof of ths contemporary art space by James Turrel.
Blue Sky, today!
It was a beautiful day in Norfolk as you can see by the blue sky and the wispy clouds!
I laid on the floor and watched the sky go by,
every picture was different!
We only visited the garden today
but will return to see Houghton Hall and Garden in full bloom,
in the Summer.
Stewart and I had a lovely lunch in their restaurant and throughly enjoyed our visit.
The visit has given both of us lots of inspiration!

In the Gardens there are many more sculptures including this on of
"The Fire Fountain".

This is Stewart looking up through the roof of 'Skyspace'.
The wooden seats around this contemporary space made a closed and secure enviroment.
Definitly effective!

Skyspace Houghton Hall

I loved this Contemporary Art space by James Turrel.
It is a wooden observatory in it's own woodland area.
The ramp leading up to it does not give away the contemplative space within,
until you push open the wooden doors!
We have a tree house in our garden that needs renovating and I can see inspiration from this artwork permeating into my head!
