Equatorial Sundial, Wendy Taylor 1981-82. Cable & Wireless, Bletchley

This the sculpture is called the Equatorial Sundial . It was designed by Wendy. Their is also a sundial in London but it is a bit different to the Equatorial Sundial it is called the Timepiece.
I thought it looked like a satellite.

Wendy Taylor has made Timepiece, the Compass bowl and the Opus and also she has designed many more.
We have photographed the Octo and Essence and the Equatorial Sundial which was also made by Wendy Taylor.
We asked the security wether we could photograph the sundial because it was on private property.

Church Cross: Alan Evans, 1991 Church of Christ the Cornerstone



This piece of art is on the top of the church.

To get us in the picture we stood on a curvy bench and it helped a lot because we had taken the picture so that our heads were next to the art.

I don't think it is art on the top of a church because it is more like a cross.

The Meeting: Nicolas Moreton, 1995 City Square, outside Marks and Spencer




This sculpture was outside the Milton Keynes shopping center. We had noticed that it was shaded behind the bush of flowers.

The sculpture was made out of stone and there was also little golden bits made from gold paint. We knew it was not real gold because it would cost millions of pounds if it was. The sculpture was Egyptian Hieroglyphs. In the circle there was North East South West and the sculptures were pointing at the South direction.

Gnomon (Shadow Caster): Peter Bowker, 1994. Campbell Park


This sculptures is in Campbell park on the cricket pitch. It looks like a wicket for cricket, with a ball on the wicket saying that the player is out.
I thought that the sculpture was dirty and could of been a bit cleaner.
I think the sculpture was in a good place because everybody can see it.
The wicket legs are straight and round but these were not.
There were seats on the grass and they were very steep but we ran down them anyway.
