An artwork consisting of a massive pair of clasped hands has had to be
moved away from a cathedral path due to people bumping into them.
The 20ft tall (6m) sculpture, called The Kiss, was positioned at
Salisbury Cathedral, inviting people to walk in-between the wrists.
"We then picked up a couple of signals that during the hours of darkness
one or two people had bumped into it.
We could see how, if you didn't see too well in the dark, this could be a
hazard. So we've moved it a few meters onto the grass."
The artwork is part of an exhibition by the British sculptor which began
a week ago and runs until 3 July.

A farmer from the canton of Bern in Switzerland has launched a campaign
to seek financial support from the Swiss federal government for owners
of animals with horns. 
In Switzerland nine out of ten cows no longer have horns.
The risk of injury among animals or to humans is the principal reason to
encourage most farmers to dehorn their cattle.
Animals with horns require more space and specific facilities.
Capaul’s initiative has won support from animal protection groups, the
association for small and medium-sized farmers, Bio Suisse and
ProSpecieRara.
