Sculptures by the Sea

This was a celebration lunch with a good sharemarket result for John’s hard work in investments. It was a Brewery but also had a good menu.
I looked towards the harbour and this photo shows the three old trunks that were left after cutting off the foliage but a sculptor came in and created shapes within these three - with a chainsaw!
Three Good Things;
1. The three trees have different sculptures - seals, owls, penguins, lizards….. They really are so clever!
2. My brisket of beef was so tender and smoked in a monstrosity smoking away in the restaurant grounds. (a photo to come)
3. Their beers are award winning and the wines are likewise - based on local ones!

Great find and shot.

[Helen Jane]

sound like you picked an excellent place to celebrate. Impressive sculpture work.

[Pat Knowles]

Sounds the perfect investment to have shares in, great choice! Weird & wonderful shapes, I thought they were three fingers at first!

[Leslie]

they look like sculptures

[Maggiemae]

@happypat It does sound like he has shares in the Brewery but that's not what I meant. He's got a portfolio of investments!

Impressive artwork for starters and a terrific photo of it. I especially like the perspective against the water and sky

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Living by the sea gives you good perspective! A great vantage point!

[Islandgirl]

Very creative and makes a lovely composition!

[Lou Ann]

It’s amazing to me how great chainsaw sculptures are, they are such big saws!

[bruni]

When you consider the size and heaveyness of the chainsaw and then see such amazing detailed work...amazing is the only word for it.

[Taffy]

Most impressive work!

[Marnie]

I never cease to wonder how some people can produce such interesting sculptures with a chainsaw. Was that a Speight's brewery? I loved our visit to one of those when we in NZ.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic No it was a boutique brewery, Marnie called Scotts.

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Thanks, I'll put it on my list for next visit.

Love the blue shades in this shot

[Joy's Focus]

Very pretty image!

[Diana]

A great capture of this lovely scene. Those trees look real arty, so many different shapes and patterns.

[Babs]

I saw a chap creating art like this with a chain saw at Broke Village Fair last year, he was amazing. There are some clever people out there aren't there.

[Casablanca]

Sounds like a brilliant trip all round! And what a clever artist. Not a delicate brush in his hand but a massive chainsaw! Amazing.

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca I think if you watch him, he just uses the tip of his chainsaw quite delicately! So skilled!

[Bep]

Love the creativity of the sculptor.

[Ann Williams]

How lovely that the tree trunks have another life as art and what a super spot to be.

[John]

How clever and unusual. Love that sky in the background!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great way to "repurpose" a cut down tree!

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann I hope they put something on them to stop them from going rotten!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot
