"Octopus by Ned Morgan"

Added 1683143811 by Stockport_Tog.

So after our bus journey par excellence, it was time to savour a pint of Exmoor Stag at The Ancient Mariner 🙂 in Lynmouth, North Devon.

I think as i get older my love of the unusual and eccentric grows....this sculpture just jumped out at me...in more ways than one!

A little judicious post processing and I am loving the finished picture 🙂 🙂 🙂

Octopus sculpture, made by local artist Ned Morgan, bursts out of the wall next to the enormous, cosy log burner, and attempts to escape through the window.

The Octopus is made from recycled metal (as all of Ned's sculptures are made from recycled materials) and features some bicycles, a trampoline, a futon bed, table legs, a walking frame, exhaust pipe, chairs and tube spanners. Reuse and recycle are two huge parts of our ethos at The Bath Hotel and The Ancient Mariner, so Ned's sculpture and way of working suits us perfectly.
