I nearly broke my neck taking this picture - Walter Bailey's second sculpture at Grizedale is perched precariously on the edge of a ravine, in the north eastern corner of the forest, down the road from Grizedale Tarn.

 

It's a wonder it hasn't fallen in during the twenty-plus years it's been there, but if it did, the forest would lose a wonderful piece. 'Seed' is one of my favourites out of the sculptures that are still there, and the spot has a sense of quiet solitude about it, a natural silence broken only by the pained cries of falling would-be photographers.
