This is my last look at Sculpture by the Sea, the outdoor sculpture exhibition that ran from 29th October to 15th November 2009. It was located on the two kilometre coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama. These sculptures were located on the sandy beach at Tamarama. I'm most happy with photo of the rainbow artwork, where I managed to capture a glimpse of the beachgoers and flag in the gap. They almost look like they posed for the shot.
Great photos! That looks like a fun festival. It's nice to see such warm, sunny pictures to brighten my day! I think the rainbow shot was my favorite as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic area.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I don't remember any sculptures on the sand here. You've done a remarkable job regarding this series, all shots are just great.
ReplyDeleteVery nice collection there. The little boy is cute.

Wow awesome. Wish we have it those sculpture here. What is your season there down south? Seems like you all have fun at the beach. Happy sky watching!

J Bar: The art is your area is really neat.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Thanks for showing these off. Wonderful series!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad thaty you and your fellow blogger shared this with us. I wish I could have been there.
ReplyDeleteManang Kim, it's spring here now but the weather has been extremely hot this week around Australia, breaking all time records for November. Today it feels like the middle of summer in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic shots. I love the sculptures and a great shot of the beautiful child.
ReplyDeleteGood shots, and so different from mine of the same things. I couldn't get a clear shot of the rainbow one, too many people around. Your shots are at a different angle as well, obviously you are a lot taller than me, you look across at things I shoot up at.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of strange sculptures lurking around on that beach !!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, great sky, have a nice skywatch !!
You showed us amazing pictures of the sculptures. I will miss them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed viewing all your pictures of this wonderful exhibition. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteYes Ann, I am tall. That's really observant of you. I'm 195cm or 6ft4in, in the old language. I think it's really interesting to see how different people's photos of the same subjects are.
ReplyDeleteWow Jim, I like the rainbow artwork it gives me a refreshing feeling! And who is that boy? LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a cool festival. I love all the sculptures. You have a great series of photos.
ReplyDeleteLove those sculptures. I guess it's not a permanent exhibition.
ReplyDeleteJill
Fabulous sculptures, I love that see-through colored one the best!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting looking at all the artwork in your last 2 posts.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness it's spring down there!! How I wish we will skip winter here in US!
ReplyDeleteCool sculptures and beautiful blue sky.
ReplyDeleteVery nice collection of photos you have here.. thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my entry too...
Love seeing them all together like this. the little kid one freaked me out!
ReplyDeleteFabulous sculptures and isn't a beautiful day at the beach the best viewing platform.
ReplyDeleteMore wonderful sculpture and sky shots! I love the rainbow one too, it's so wonderfully colorful!
ReplyDeleteAll of the posts with the sculptures by the sea are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

Really quite fantastic; that must have been a wonderful sight. Always enjoy your photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat compositions and liked them all esp that one with the colored glasses.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful sculptures, J Bar!
ReplyDeleteI love the colored ones. I also went through your previous and i wish that am there to witness that exhibition. :)
Thanks for the visit!
What a great spot... so glad you shared it with all of us!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of photos, and so interesting. Lovely to see the sun and such cheerfulnes from this bleak November clime.
ReplyDeleteThe basket within the baskets, look like fish traps. The plastic colour sheets are very modern.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I like the rainbow too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and interesting sculptures! I especially like the eyes staring out of the rocks in you previous post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It is a great exhibition!
ReplyDeleteWow! It seems there is no shortage of sculptures Down Under! Nice photos! Seems like a nice warm day!
ReplyDeleteI like the basketlike sculptures. The little beachgoer seems posed for sculpting, too.
ReplyDeleteThat cute little boy is my favourite! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice shots, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteNice shots, I like the wire pointy onions.
ReplyDeleteNice photos of those sculptures. Looks like a fun day!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the pictures of the art, but did not find the picture of the 'beach person' appropriate for a public blog.
ReplyDeletefabulous shots, the young boy is so care-free lol..
ReplyDeletelovely! and i love seeing summer in australia when we're headed into cold & dark here!
ReplyDeletethe child is a sculpture right?
ReplyDeletethey are all truly amazing. It's hard to pick a favorite since they are all so different.
Lovely and i love seeing summer in australia when we're headed into the winter soon. Thanks for visiting me too.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Carly and Lily Hydrangea, it's a sculpture, not an actual child.
ReplyDeleteI love all the sculptures Jim. That boy is looking so cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat end for your pictures anyways with that boy's photo.
Sydney Harbour Events
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean to offend you, and I understand the controversy.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Carly. For the benefit of others, I might just repeat the comment I left on Carly's blog. The last sculpture has actually caused some controversy in Sydney. The artist was originally asked to put speedos on his artwork but removed them on the second day. He defended his actions by saying that great artworks like the Statue of David or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michalengelo are not censored, so he should never have been asked to censor his sculpture. Most people agreed and apart from some media coverage, there were no problems after that.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, to have such an exhibition by the sea! looks so fun, and so coloured!
ReplyDeleteA great series. Having the sculptures displayed on the beach is such a different venue from those I'm accustomed to for viewing art work. I think it's great.
ReplyDeleteLOL the last shot is A winner! Beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteMy Sky Watch Friday
Fantastic shots. Art on the sea, a Festval of the senses. Manuela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies!
ReplyDeleteThe second picture is amazing, I think I saw quite a similar one at BBC too, only there a few people were walking by that colorful sculpture.
ReplyDeleteI like those metal spheres by the stairs best. This is a good series of art.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like a great exhibition.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great festival. I love the way the rainbow installation casts colors onto the sand, and wow that little boy sure looks real. I had to double and triple check before I was sure he wasn't!
ReplyDeleteNice to see all threse sculptures on the beach. The blue sky makes the scenery complete.
ReplyDeleteGreat snaps. Nice colors.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the complete collection of pictures 'Sculptures by the Sea'. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanx for the Visit :)
your composition on these is great... lovely shots indeed!
ReplyDeletevery nice series of posts.
ReplyDeleteThese sculptures are so cool! I would love to visit that beach. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed every time I see these sculptures, they're extra extraordinary. Adding the little boy at the end is pure genius, the most amazing work of art of all, the human body.
ReplyDeleteWow, sculpture at the beach, what a great idea! They are marvelous. My favorite is the first sculpture with waht looks like bamboo poles. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteCool sculptures - looks like a very neat festival to experience. I have to admit that the kid sculpture seemed a little creepy to me but the others were very interesting!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Dave
the statue of the boy look real, or is it? nice photographs you have here
ReplyDeleteLindz, it's a sculpture which is titled 'Little Boy Lost' and it is actually larger than life. You can read a bit more about the controversy and the artist who rebelled against censorship in this Sydney Morning Herald article.
ReplyDeleteThose sculptures are great. And their placing by the sea is a great idea. The sculptures, the sea, the sand, the sky, and your ability to take a photo of them all, these things are making your photos special. I like them:-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! And thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteMost interesting sculptures! :D
ReplyDeletethe artist is right you have a problem if you get offended .... it's in the beach not in the shopping centre ....
