I just love this and all that it symbolises. The image suggests to me those carefree childhood days

I was looking through some of my older photos when I stumbled across this image shot a few months back.  This photograph discount broadway theatre tickets to spamalot was taken at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and really was all about the sculpture’s subject matter, which resonated discount broadway theatre tickets to spamalot with me.  The piece, Girl On A Bicycle , serves as such a lovely reminder that sometimes it is okay to lift your feet off of the pedals, and have a little fun.
Created by Sydney Harpley in 1987 this cast-bronze sculpture was the second piece commissioned and gifted by David Marshall to the Singapore Botanic Gardens as a piece of public art.  The first, Girl On A Swing is a much larger piece and more easily recognized by visitors to the Gardens , but it is the feeling of abandon in Girl On A Bicycle that captured my attention.  The way her hair blows back as she raises her feet forward communicates an uninhibited energy.  I don’t know about you, but I could use a little of that in my life every now and again.  In fact, reconnecting with this sculpture now is timely, as lately I have found myself bogged down by life’s responsibilities.

What a beautiful interpretation of the sculpture, Alexis! I would say that lifting your feet off the pedals is mandatory now and then. I have the tendency of overthinking everything, so I find those moments of sheer fun and spontaneity a necessity.

I just love this and all that it symbolises. discount broadway theatre tickets to spamalot The image suggests to me those carefree childhood days that maybe we should once in a while try to recapture. Having fun and doing what makes us happy! When we visited Singapore a few years ago we didn t have time to go to the Botanic Gardens but next time (hopefully very soon!) we should definitely schedule a walk around there.
This actually made me laugh, because I was doing the same thing the other day and I fell from the bike and now I have like bumps and marks and bruises all over my legs Doesn t look romantic any more!
Reckless discount broadway theatre tickets to spamalot relief , I like that! What a fun statue, so much movement in a static piece of art.
