Mini Me!

On reviewing some close up pictures of the mosaic in Rowntree Park at home I realised my reflection was captured in the picture above. I make no apologies for the hat, it was a very cold day!

Open Air Theatre

Down the path from yesterday's carved masks is this open air platform. Lights are set into the top of the walls and the stage looks very atmospheric when they are lit, especially with the trees behind acting as a living backcloth.
Past productions staged here include A Midsummer Night's Dream (naturally!) and Much Ado About Nothing. Both were performed as part of the York Shakespeare Project, a group committed to performing all of Shakespeare's plays somewhere in York over a period of 20 years. We are about 10 years into the cycle and you can find out more about them here

Two Green Masks

Walking further into Rowntree Park I came across these two Comedy & Tragedy masks carved into an old tree stump. Stop by tomorrow to see why.
