The statue has a fascinating form in comparison with that of the trees in the square. I do hope the trees never suffer the fate of an axe as then the delightful juxtaposition will be lost.

A bit rare for public art to have such whimsy--well, at least over this side of the pond. Kudos to Tim Tolkien. He seems to have a share of The Professor's sense of humour--a trait which perhaps CT does not share?
