Moore wanted his larger bronzes to be free standing, seen within a landscape of fields, trees and sky and capable of being seen from all 360 degrees.
Do the bronzes look out of place in nature? That is a matter of opinion. Most have natural curves and reflect the bones, stones and flints that Moore collected and used as inspirations, whilst others look decidedly bizarre amongst the greenery.
Whilst the the large reclining figure on the hill is fascinating, it also reminds me of Sergeant Howie's fate in the Wicker Man!
