The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
This image is a bit confoosing for my poor brain. Is any of that blue actual-sky?
ReplyDeleteNo. It is trick of the eye stuff
DeleteClever
Deletewhat interesting characters ... I'm sure you'll see many of the real - deal emus before your travels are through.
ReplyDeleteYep. Plenty out that way.
DeleteI've just been looking around google maps at Hebel (which I have never heard of) - I didn't realize Lightning Ridge was up so high. I think I thought it was out near Broken Hill!
ReplyDeleteThe opal fields out near Broken Hill are White Cliffs. I hadn't really thought about Lightning Ridge but there was a sign on the highway to Mudgee saying it was only 6 hours drive away and that got me thinking of going there one day. That sign isn't there any more.
DeleteWhat an awesome painting/mural. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely though on a very unassuming building. See the previous post for the full picture of the pub.
