Bajo El Sol Jaguar

Sunset at the Living Desert Sculptures - Broken Hill.

The Living Desert Reserve is nestled amongst the Barrier Ranges and is located 9km from the city of Broken Hill. Within the Living Desert is the Living Desert Sculpture Site. 12 sandstone sculptures highlight the skyline, all with a story to tell. Located on a majestic hilltop within the centre of the reserve, the sculptures were completed in 1993 by artists from around the world. This particular sculpture is named Bajo El Sol Jaguar by artist Antonio Nava Tirado from Mexico.

The best time to photograph the sculptures is at sunset. You can see from my shot that I've lined the sun up as best I could so that it was shining through a hole in the sculpture.

Taken on our trip to Broken Hill a few years ago and is part of my "Wind-Back Wednesday" theme. TFL
