The Egg by girlie

The Egg

171 / 365
This is a gigantic sculpture that sits near the shore of Sydney Harbour at Walsh Bay. It was begun by well-known artist, the late Brett Whiteley and completed by his wife after his death. Its actual title is Black Totem II, but of course it's known simply as The Egg. It's not far from the crushed car that I posted recently, and both form part of a sculpture walk in this area of sydney.

Such a great sculpture. I love these odd ball things. I am loving your shots of Sydney and realizing how much more there is to see than I got to.

I really love municipalities that contribute to the art scene by sponsoring artist's works. This is really cool.

Unusual sight and the processing adds to the effect, good capture!

@ukcam Thanks Cam. But no processing involved here; SOOC in this case.
