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)

New Sculpture From Old


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Tucked away in the Dromana Hills is a raised front garden feature near a steeply sloping driveway!
Part of that feature is a tortoise mainly sculpted from re-cycled hubcaps!

That turtle sculpture is really cool, but then again, I love anything turtle -themed! Fun post :)

Now that's a real unusual tortoise, Gemma! Happy Spring and Happy Easter and Happy Yard Art Day! :)

Boy! That fellow must be huge. Three hubcaps accross is about three feet --I'd guess.

Great find. Love how it must shine in the sunlight.

Can never go wrong with a turtle.

How very unique!
With the dolphin last week and this turtle next week I'm certainly looking forward to what you will present next week.
Very artistic yard art!
