Marie Curie Statue, originally uploaded by Alan Whyte.

Photographer Alan Whyte tells us about this February 3, 2010 image: This image was taken in Callander Park in Falkirk,Scotland,UK. I was told by a friend it was a work of art that had been created for the Marie Curie Trust [although] i can’t confirm that this is the case. However it is meant to represent an opening daffodil.

Editor’s Note: The Great Daffodil Appeal in the UK 2010 has begun. This is a drive to raise funds and support for the Marie Curie Cancer Care programs. Here is information about this year’s efforts including a YouTube video “Give Us an Hour”.
