Sydney Vol II: Bondi Beach, The Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition

Its been a while...
Well you know me, partly because of laziness and partly as a result of me being perplexed by the glare of Melbourne (I'm kiddin' David:P)

I think pictures will talk for themselves (hopefully), but I cant help not sharing my feelings when I first got there: you cross the street and out of the blue, the huge endless ocean appears in front of you.


I was lucky enough to make it for the last day of "Sculpture by the Sea" Exhibition. this is some kind of conceptual (if I may...) art exhibition, held annually during November in Sydney all the way through from Bondi to Bronte Beach. One can have a nice walk overlooking the ocean and enjoy some cultural enema. Fabulous!

Man, I think it's the wind- and water-sculpted sandstone rock faces that are the real work of beauty. Really makes me homesick. It's such a gorgeous backdrop to all my walking, swimming (in the nearby tidal pools) and snorkelling in Sydney. This sandstone is specific to (the) Sydney ("basin" - the very wide-ranging crucible of rock on which Sydney is formed)....

A real pity that I couldn't take you snorkelling in the nearby waters to see Bluey (the groper that you can pat) and the other fishies, but glad that you got to see where we play.
