A Weekend in the Country

I am fortunate enough to have a sister who lives in the country and have just visited her new home near Bungendore in country NSW. It is about half an hour from Canberra the capital of Australia which was created half way between the two largest cities of Sydney & Melbourne. The peace and quiet there is wonderful and full of inspiration. These are some of the sights.

Ghost Gums have wonderful bark which peels off to create brilliant texture and colours

Feeding time for the cockatoos - they are plentiful and noisy

The dam is full of yabbies and a couple of happy ducks

Sculpture by the Sea - More Photos

I have managed to put all my photos of Scultpture by the Sea including titles into a Flickr file for anyone who wants to see more. I didn't take photos of all of the sculpture - only the ones that really spoke to me. I have such admiration for these artists.

Of course Nature itself puts on a pretty good show too!

Clifftop Inspiration

Sculpture by the Sea is an annual display on the clifftops between Bondi and Tamarama Beaches in Sydney. The combination of perfect weather and the natural and man made sculptures created a wonderful display of inspiration.
