AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

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)

It Looks Mechanical

Like a farm machine
Like a skeletal windmill
Like a working dream

I am trying to figure out what mechanical thing it would be and all I came up with was pogo stick??? LOL.

Add some blades and you have a windmill. Add a chain, and you get a machine beast of burden. It can anything it (or we) want it to be. The creative artist and his fine sculpture!

My first thought was that this sculpture was a "windmill," but as Ralph (above) knows, his wife (me) is NOT mechanically oriented.
;-)

An enchanted maze sounds like a wonderful place to visit.
