  1. Unsure of what it may be, but such a sculpture in a busy plaza do give many a viewer a reason to stop and consider the artist's work. Very cool!

  3. Well, Jim, without reading what it is, I never would have guessed "bird". However, it certainly does cast some shadows!!...:)JP

    1. I agree. I had no idea until I read the description but I can sort of make out a beak and feathers on two long legs. Sort of. ;)

    1. Lydia, it's certainly one of the more divisive public sculptures in Sydney.
