Whale Tails by onewing

Whale Tails

On my way home this afternoon I stopped off in Nelson Bay to get some photos of the whale tail sculptures at the marina.

I tried to take photos of them on Sunday when we were in Nelson Bay with friends, but there were too many people wandering around.

As you can see it is a very grey day today so I thought I stood a good chance of capturing the tails with nobody in the picture and I was right.

The first two sculptures have a jar of chalk next to them so that kids can colour in the tails with chalk. Because it poured with rain yesterday most of the chalk has washed off.
interesting public sculpture Babs

Reminiscent of cows in Morrinsville (must go and photograph them), love the chalk idea

Very interesting artistic works beautifully captured and presented Babs, how long have they been there? lovely idea to have the chalks there I would have to have a go at a little selective colouring, lol:)

Apparently they are going to add more whale tail sculptures along the water front. Nothing like on the scale of the ones in the UK of hippos, pigs, zebras, sheep etc. but we are a bit parochial here in our part of the world.

Good collage!

You made a lovely collage of these whale tail sculptures Babs. I love the fact that kids can chalk them too - I like interactive artwork like that. I read the link, very interesting but I see they are only temporary exhibits though.

@stephanies Thanks Stephanie. I am not sure where they go when they have finished their time here. The sculptures at the marina change quite regularly.
