 BBC staff and visitors to our White City building in West London may have noticed a new feature. 

Giles Penny's bronze sculpture Rise & Shine has been placed in the courtyard garden outside of the restaurant.

Giles created the sculpture in 2007. It takes its inspiration from the world of dreams and flying. 

It replaces Giles's earlier sculpture Laughing Man. It seems an appropriate choice for the nation's favourite breakfast broadcaster - especially in the month that BBC Radio 2 has announced a change of breakfast show presenter.

British artist Penny says: "It's morning, it's waking, it's hopeful. It's a little bit of inspiration for the workplace."

I hope Rise & Shine will provide a bit of inspiration, fun and delight for all BBC staff and visitors.
