Sculpture

Sorry I haven't been posting for the last few days but we have been in Canberra. Just got home this evening.

I am catching up with my shots while also watching the Federer vs Nadal tennis final on the television.

I took this photo at the Arboretum in Canberra this morning.

Will catch up again soon as it has been a long fun filled few days and I am shattered this evening.

Hope I can stay awake long enough to watch the end of the tennis.

What a great quirky sculpture! Hope you enjoyed the tennis

It sits in a great location from what I can see - the bird that is and the whole sculpture.

[Debbie]

An interesting sculpture

[Beryl Lloyd]

Makes me smile -- does he use the spanner to unbolt his nest !! lol !!

[Leana Niemand]

Interesting!

[Sally Ings]

Steampunk nesting!

[Margo Sayer]

Great fun! Crows and jackdaws are renowned for having all sorts of human goods and chattels lining their nests.

[gloria jones]

Great capture of this interesting sculpture

[julia]

Saw one very similar while on the Tauranga garden ramble back in November.. fantastic..

[carol white]

A super sculpture

[Peter]

Great capture in wonderful detail and light Babs love the tones and textures, would I be right in thinking Richard Moffatt done more than one version of this sculpture, he is so creative with scrap metal so interesting seeing what its made out of:)

[Peter Day]

Sit down and enjoy the TV with a small G&T

[Stephanie]

Lol, no sit down with a large G&T, it's the weekend - well it is here anyway, could be Monday for you. Interesting looking structure, nicely taken against the blue of the sky.

[Sue]

What a wonderful sculpture. Fav

[sally agnew]

Love the intricate detail and creativity :)

[Babs]

@pcoulson You could be right Peter, as this sculpture is called Nest III I suppose there must be a I and II somewhere. I expect Google will know.

[Babs]

@julienne1 Thanks Juilienne the tennis was fabulous and I did stay awake till the end. Such a nail biting finish.

[Susie]

Such an interesting sculpture

A fantastic sculpture , I have missed you , hope you had a nice break abs

[Babs]

@stephanies Ha ha, it is Monday here now. Just a cup of tea this morning I think. It has been a very long three days and I had to stay up last night to watch the Australian Open Tennis final with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Yay, Roger won, it was a fabulous match.

Very cool sculpture!

[Marnie]

Oh woweeee, I'd love that beaut sculpture in my garden. What a wonderful find Babs.

[Babs]

@777margo I am pleased Roger won, sad that someone has to lose with a match so close isn't it.

[Babs]

@nicolecampbell We had a lovely time thanks. Always enjoy going to Canberra.

[Babs]

@golftragic It is brilliant isn't it. It is huge though, so you may need a large handbag to carry it away.

[tony gig]

Amazing Sculpture and a work of Art, great find and capture...fav

[Ann Williams]

I absolutely love this sculpture. The artist/sculptor had so much vision to create this wonderful piece.
