For goodness sake, stop blinking!

    You know I know nothing about Dr. Who but I'm guessing this hits your funny bone. I do love the statues.

    I do not know Dr Who, but the first picture, the first statue, if it is a weeping angel, then it is fitting that it weeps with the rest of us on 9/11.

    Worn away a bit aren't they? maybe the sands of time. He looks like he has a WW2 mine in his hand.

    I like weatheredlooking statues such as these. Imagine what they would say if they could talk!

    The twins are huge Dr. Who fans and have mentioned the weeping angels. I'll have to ask them about the blinking comment. :-D

    I quite like the time-worn face of that second statue. I suspect I know how he feels as well, freezing cold in winter, slow to soak up the sun on those odd summer days. No wonder he carries a little flask of single malt around with him.

    "Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe, don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink..."

    I seem to remember that near the end of that story (Blink), the Doctor is heard to say something like:

    "No, not every statue, but any statue..."

    Now go for a walk around your local town, and see how many statues / stone carvings of people or animals you can find

    http://youtu.be/9U3ampthDdk

    and when you've done that

    "Don't Blink..."
