'Oceanides' is a sculpture of two sea nymphs located on the side of the rock pool at Fairy Bower Beach, in the northern suburb of Manly. The sculpture was created by Helen Leete in 1997. The Okeanides in Greek mythology were sea nymphs that were part human and part sea creature.
I like this (these?). When the picture was loading, I at first thought I would see hands stretched out...

anjoe playhouse, these are not very big either. They're smaller than human size.
ReplyDeleteHow unusual — and what a beautiful setting for them.
ReplyDeleteGreat statues, great setting.
ReplyDeleteThe sculptures are so pretty! It's neat that they are sea nymphs. The water is beautiful. Very nice picture.
