We were lucky enough to get back down to Cottesloe on Saturday evening just before the sun went down to take some last shots of Sculpture by the Sea.. I had heard that 'transparent sea' by WA artist Vaughn Bisschops was particularly fabulous in the sunset so I was pretty keen for that shot..what do you think? I'm pretty happy with it, more so because I took it with a sweet little lense that I bought for my Pentax at the last camera market, I don't think it's actually designed for this type of shot, more for close up work, but it did just fine on this and 'look this way' by NSW artist Ken Unsworth below, and to end off the sculptures for this year WA artist Ayad Alqaragholli's 'habibi' and my favourite of the many, many silhouette shots I took after the sun had disappeared below the horizon. Hope you've enjoyed them as much as I did taking them. Short week this week and next, have a good Tuesday, take care.....

ReplyDeleteTerrific captures, Grace, as always, and such great composition!! The skeleton is amazing directing his "spooky" orchestra and the last shot is so beautiful! Hope you have a great week! Take care and enjoy!!
ReplyDeletenicely done...enjoyed all 3 :)
ReplyDeleteI love this post! Perth is bursting with juicy goodness. Never wanted to see her before, but I do now :-)
ReplyDeleteAloha
Brilliant job with the lens, whatever it's "real" purpose!:) I love that silhouette and the beautiful light throughout. Lucky you, such an amazing sculpture show!
ReplyDeleteSimply fabulous! the light is magnifying the art!
ReplyDeleteI do like them; particularly the first, it's very dramatic. As to that skeleton, what is Yorick doing all the way in Australia? I knew him well, Horatio....
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful! i really love the skeleton!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look excellent like that. My personal favourite has got to be the last one though. Call me hopelessly romantic if you want to... :-)
ReplyDeleteThe last one really looks like a sculpture!
ReplyDeleteLooks just wonderful. And, nice and warm!!!!! I love that last one too. Just imagine those men are out there fishing!
ReplyDeleteThese are such strange and cool sculptures Grace!!! I love the first one. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the light has made the top sculpture glow! These are all great sunset shots. What fun to have this show in such a beautiful setting and so accessible to everyone.
ReplyDeleteThe evening light brings a whole new dimension to these sculptures!
ReplyDeleteThree great shots, Grace.
ReplyDeleteThe first is very impressive, the last beautiful and romantic,
the second.... the photo is beautiful, the subject... not really my taste.... :-)
Hi Grace. I love that first shot. Very coo!
ReplyDeleteCool even!
ReplyDeleteVery arty skeleton.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing! I really like the skeleton and the acrobats(?)! Can't imagine something like this on a Florida beach. Which is too bad.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Grace. I especially like the whale shark ( at least I think that's what it is)!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst and last are great pieces of art, and photography.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Tuesday.
I like the third one best.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Great art, and photography to match.
ReplyDeleteQuite an interesting display !
ReplyDeletepretty interesting artwork!
ReplyDeletelove your last image with the sunset and the fishermen. We saw Sculptures by the Sea a couple of years ago - very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Bunbury, I thought we were in for a cold miserable day, but the sun is shining now.
Have a wonderful week.
Great shots! Love the shapes against the sunset!
ReplyDeleteHi, just a moment back I was searching for the information on the same topic and now I am here. So much information, really well executed blog. This is really informative and I will for sure refer my friends the same. Thanks for Photographs and Pictures of Sun.
ReplyDeleteje pense que chez vous tous les ans il y a des statues qui arrivent sur les plages
ReplyDeleteune très jolie exposition
I dream and enjoy Perth through your eyes... Just missing, the smell in the air :-) I like sculptures on the beach
ReplyDeleteThat blue flathead is one mighty fish. How big was the one that got away!
ReplyDeleteInteresting Art work :)
ReplyDeleteI think the lens did a fabulous job of capturing Sculpture By The Sea!
ReplyDeleteNow this basking whale is quite fantastic. But my mind is divided about the...director
ReplyDeletewow, what a great place to put out the ART to the people.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing so many nice images with us.
