these statues were all over the island, and sometimes caught you by suprise... the poses on some of them were fantastic.

statues on a bench looking over their shoulders on the flower island of Mainau. It struck me, because a few nights before I drew this scene of two people on a bench looking over their shoulders at each other..!!! Freaky madness...

Mainau is basically an entire island that has been turned into a massive display of flowers, herbs, foliage of all sorts and a huge amount of trees from all over the world and its all been landscaped to feel idyllic.
