Bluebell Wood, Clyne Gardens
The bluebell wood located at the top end of Clyne Gardens has to be the most beautiful part of Swansea at this time of year. The best time of day to take in the beauty of this place is, in my opinion, the evening, when the spectacle of colour is highlighted against the setting sun. Get there soon, before the blooms fade...
Running Machines Down The Gym
Had a late evening session down The Gym in the city centre this evening. I like it when it's nice and quiet down there.
Moby Dick
This statue on the grounds of Swansea University (Singleton Park campus) was difficult to get close to to photograh as it is at the back of a bicycle rack! The piece is by Michael Fynn and was unveiled in 1985.
Confucious, Swansea University
This seven feet tall stone statue of Confucious, located on the grounds of Swansea University (Singleton Park campus) is, without anty doubt my favourite statue in Swansea:
The of the Chinese philosopher was unveiled in 2009 and was gifted by the European Federation of Chinese Organisations in recognition of "the success of the deep and strengthening links between academic institutions, businesses and government organisations." Assembly Member Andrew Davies noted at the time "I'm delighted that the European Federation of Chinese Organisations has selected Swansea as the first vibrant and multicultural city in Wales to receive a statue of the Chinese philosopher Confucius."
Difficult to find in the maze that is Swansea University, it is, nevertheless, worth seeking out as it is a truly impressive public monument and work of art.
