Blade Runners


Still at Helmsley Castle these sculptures stand outside the main castle entrance. They show the three main weapons used by fighting forces that would have defended the castle before the advent of firearms. Somehow they remind me more of Blade Runner than Braveheart.

  1. They remind me of Game of Thrones, now that is so fashionable. In fact, I'm reading the third book.

  2. Amazing, more sci-fi than historical re-enactment, I agree.

  4. I would forgive Harrison Ford quite a bit for that one performance in Blade Runner, a film ahead of its time. The best view of Helmsley is from the original castle (which was a mound and wooden I think) some distance from the stone ruin.

  5. I like them, and the setting makes them a bit spooky.
