The Lady of Lyonesse
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 19 May 2009
A sculpture in the garden of 'Lyonesse', No 1, Higher Kingsdown Road, Teignmouth. It is steadied by multiple guy wires, washing lines and so forth. The inscription on the tablet reads: "Your honesty and self-respect contribute to safe and happy environments". Whether this is addressed to the world at large or to a specific neighbour, who can say? As seen from Mill Lane; for another view, including the mermaid on the roof, see Image Difficult to photograph. I was a good hour late to get a more oblique light but there was just too much other stuff to photograph on the way!
