Victoria's Way, located near Roundwood, County Wicklow, Ireland, is a privately owned meditation garden notable for its black granite sculptures. The 9-hectare property includes a number of small lakes and forested areas. A plaque by the entrance says the park is dedicated to cryptographer Alan Turing. The park is open to the public during the summer months, with an admission fee for adults. ==Sculptures== Most of the park's statues are made of black granite, and range in height from 1.5m to 4.9m.〔(Victoria's Way, Spiritual Sculpture Park )〕 The first structure by the entrance is a sculpted tunnel based on the idea of vagina dentata. Eight statues are dedicated to Ganesha, showing the elephant god dancing, reading, and playing musical instruments.〔(The Irish Ganesh Exhibition, @ Victoria's Way, Roundwood, Co Wicklow )〕 All the Ganesha sculptures were made in Tamil Nadu, India, and each took five craftsmen a year to make.〔(David Kenny's Erindipity )〕 Other statues include a large python-shaped seat, a solitary index finger pointing at the sky, and interpretations of Buddha, Shiva, Eve, and others. Many of the sculptures include small motifs of modernity, such as a small pint of Guinness beside a Ganesha and a mobile telephone tucked into the back of a starving Buddha.〔(Wicklow Daily Photo: Indian Sculpture Park VI )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Victoria's Way」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
