S is for Sculptures on the Beach: Cottesloe Beach, Perth

Cottesloe Beach, Perth, from the Pier.

We have been chasing daylight, flying 5 hours across from Sydney to Perth. This morning a sunrise over the Pacific Ocean and this evening a sunset over the Indian Ocean!

Inel sent me information about an outdoor sculpture exhibition at Cottesloe Beach, Perth so we hired a car for the afternoon and headed for the beach, along with plenty of other folks.

The Sculpture by the Sea was certainly popular.

The pieces are monumental, some edgy, others classical in nature and others just down right weird.

My favourite piece was a gossamer fine wire sculpture by the Australian artist, Barbara Licha, called "Listen time passes.." The figures are captured in their boxes, or spaces, the light catches the wire and they seem to have movement and tension. Quite magical and haunting.

My favourite piece, gossamer fine, haunting piece.
