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.
They are great!
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of Game of Thrones, now that is so fashionable. In fact, I'm reading the third book.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, more sci-fi than historical re-enactment, I agree.
ReplyDeleteThey do look quite modern!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI like them, and the setting makes them a bit spooky.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the Blade Runner have become history for many years.and then Blade Runner still have many fans .I am one of among.
