My first ever Sunrise shoot, and for sure it didn’t go to plan at all, having stayed up all night at the trundle fog very nearly ruined everything sadly no shafts of sunlight hitting the statue but there’s always next time.
The trundle (St Roaches hill) An ancient iron age fort, is now a temporary home to something a little newer in Bronze.
Artemis a 30ft giant horses head cast in bronze Named by the creator/ sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green now stands tall overlooking the Sussex downs, glorious Goodwood, Chichester and a large section of the south coast.

As you can see in the second picture the entire singleton, Charlton and east dean valley was thick in fog giving a surreal image of this giant horses head appearing to float on the clouds.
this will definitely be the first of many trips as i cant fit in before the statue disappears for good…….

Artemis now has a new home in Austrailia, He left the lawn at goodwood house this morning and will arrive in austraia some time in december. the following information was taken from a bbc article clik the link for full article….
A family have paid about £1m to buy a huge sculpture of a horse’s head and transport it from Sussex to Australia.

The 30ft (9.1m) high bronze called Artemis was created by artist Nic Fiddian-Green. It formerly stood on the Trundle on the South Downs.

Now an Australian family are taking it to Sydney to become a memorial at the grave of their late father.

Mr Fiddian-Green said the family had bought his work before and had a love of horses.
‘Something this personal’

The sculpture, which was sited at Goodwood House over the summer for the racing festival, is being transported to Southampton Docks before heading to New South Wales.

The artist said: “It’s going on to one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world – known as The Great Dividing Range – on their family estate as a memorial to their late father.

“It’s an honour to have been selected and to have made something that will mark something this personal – its something very profound.”
