It does look out of place on the pavement, but might be quite nice in Moseley Bog.
Not that I've been to Moseley Bog or any of the Tolkien places in Birmingham.
but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed.

That's interesting, Al. Thanks for sharing it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
I'm not overfond of the sculpture but very fond of the idea.

Wasn't it Treebeard who said that Saruman had a mind of metal and wheels? This Treebeard sculpture's entire
body is made of metal!
I think a natural-looking material would be more appropriate.

There is very little that would not improve Birmingham, I must admit the notion of a Treebeard sculpture being amongst living tree's is rather sweet
