Is it some kind of dredge?

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Like a mechanical swan.
What a terrible machina ex human... Great reflections too... Nice sharing indeed.
That loos really special (and not very safe I must add). Creative choice!
What a strange, but terrific reflection! It is interesting what we come across once we start looking for shadows and reflections and we tend to see them in a whole different light! This makes me think of a modern day, aging, broken down dragon! Always enjoy your photos! Have a wonderful weekend, Gemma!

Looks like it has a secret life - even if it is a bit wobbly.
Great reflection. That is a very strange looking dredge if that's what it is. Very interesting though.
Looks like a small dredger. Nice catch.
