Wow! Nice collection of beautiful art photos. I went to Ausrlaria two times, first stayed at Rose bay in Sydney five years ago, second trekking mountains in Tasumania island three years ago. Both tours were very good for me.
Wow, that's very impressive. I've seen lots of sculptures on your blog but this one is great. Thanks for sharing and have a great day! Greetings, Miklos from Budapest (Hungary)

Best sculpture so far & so apt for SWF.
ReplyDeleteNice sculpture. I am curious how the artist came to that name for this statue or is the guy always in the sky ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he always has his head up in the clouds. :)
DeleteSimply nice. A good idea to place that sculpture there. At least you won't be lonely when you're enjoying the view alone. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Jim!
It seems to be a very interesting place!
ReplyDeleteI love public art, espcially in pretty places.
