Love Barbara Hepworth sculptures, though somewhat mystified how Art Newspaper's '10 essential works in UK. includes the one at UN in New York....
Here's one of my local favourites instead: a smaller version of the UN one called Single Form (Memorial), in Battersea Park.

Yesterday I rushed through fine #snow to train station at end of my holiday. Departure board showed no train so I wondered what to do. Then looked up to see opposite platform with people waving to me from the train.
