‘Sculpture: Point Leo Estate II’

‘Sculpture: Point Leo Estate I’
…been meaning to jam up a few photos of the brilliant abstract sculptures to be found at the Point Leo Estate on the Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne, and which i visited last month.
so, here we go…

‘Kaleidoscope 15’
…the photo of tree branches featured in my previous post ‘a hope beyond’ reimagined as a mandala.
hope radiates outwards!…

‘A Hope Beyond’
…through the dark maze, with its countless twists and turns – there is brightness, there is hope, always…

‘Feline Recline’
… couch masters snooze on…


‘Hotel Windsor’
…grand and beautiful, the “duchess of spring street” lies just across the road from the victorian parliament in central melbourne.
there was a wedding party in the old black cars in the bottom photo, commencing marriage in style – start as you mean to go on i say!…

‘Bottle Tree’
…native to australia, this bottle tree was spotted on my recent trip to Victoria.
drink in the greenery!…



‘Sweet Tooth Temptation’
…sugary creations in the window of a st.kilda, Melbourne cake shop entice those with a sweet tooth. at least photos are calorie free!…

‘Coast & Clouds’
…the first official day of autumn, not that you would know that, fine and mid-twenties temperatures here in auckland…

‘Lawyers’
…lines crossing ‘Lawyers’ – but you might need one if you cross a line…

‘Melbourne Skyline’
…the almost surreal view of skyscrapers from queen victoria market…

‘On The Wharf, To The Horizon’
A young man stands on a wharf on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
The wharf appears to end at the sea’s horizon.
The young man is in fact my son, and he has relocated from New Zealand to Australia to further employment and professional ambitions, as many others his age do.
The photo, to my mind anyway, captures a solo leap, out from familiar shores to the great unknown beyond. I hope that in this case courage and vision will be rewarded!

‘Riding The Night Tram’

‘When Life Gives You Lemons’
…and chilis, limes, onions, garlic etc….
