One of my favourite sculptures in the city, the
'unidentified photographer' (a natural affiliation?) by WA artists
Greg James and
Anne Neil sits at the top end of St. George's Terrace just across from
the Barracks Arch looking down the tree lined Terrace. It was quite by chance that I noticed the artist's details when I pulled the below image in to have a sticky beak at the contents spilling out of the open bag, try it and check out the tags, tres subtle oui. The pink flags that you can see are for the annual
Mothers Day Classic on Sunday to raise money for breast cancer, I would love to walk it with Aimee, hmmm! maybe :)
Looking in the opposite direction the hill that leads up to the main entrance of
Kings Park and the Botanical Gardens (one of the many hills on the annual City to Surf Walk), you can just see a wee bit of
Parliament House down there in the right hand corner behind the Arch. I hope that you're enjoying the look around St. George's Terrace, when you all come over it's one of the first places we'll head for :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe. p.s. big storms in Perth today.....
interesting .... where's his camera or is he using an iPhone ;)?
ReplyDeleteThat´s truly an awesome sculpture, love it, Grace! Sad I missed it in 2006! Haven´t seen that side of Kings Park yet, either.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed the storm won´t do too much damage! Here it rained all day, we´re down to 15C as highest temps...
I love the sculpture! Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou do have some of the greatest sculptures in Perth!! Love your captures and the details! Terrific! Hope the storms won't be too bad and that there's little damage!! My fingers are crossed, too!!
ReplyDeleteI like that statue...great shots!
ReplyDeleteI loved enlarging to see the details spilling out the bag - marvelous statue (and why yes, a most natural affiliation:) and capture, I love the view in the opposite direction too - lucky to live in Perth!
ReplyDeleteThe open bag is an amazing detail! Nice building across the street too.
ReplyDeleteNice sculpture, Grace. Love the details.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The bag on the ground and items spilling out of it is so creative. VERY nice photos also!
ReplyDeleteI love the sculpture and the wonderful details including his Blundstones - so many people especially artists wear them here, at least in my circles they do. I've put mine away for the summer and am now into my thongs/flipflops.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I visit your blog I marvel at what a marvelous place is Perth. That photographer sculpture is to die for and the scene looking down the road is so interesting and inviting!
ReplyDeleteI am very much enjoying my look around!
ReplyDeleteTribute to us! :-)
ReplyDeleteAloha
I'm still laughing at Daryl's comment :). I am discovering Perth is no small City...love the sculpture and wonderful Mother's Day fund raising idea.
ReplyDeleteBut it doesn't look like you
ReplyDeleteA decent sculpture!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the storms, it must be one of ours that has escaped.
I like the attention to detail in this work as well as the name of the sculpture. I hope you are staying dry.
ReplyDeleteExpressive and beautiful sculpture.
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses.
Cool sculpture. I really like the details of the bag. I want to keep looking to see what I spy! A nice Tuesday here today.
ReplyDeleteYou have to like that sculpture. The storm sounds serious.
ReplyDeleteLots of detail spilling out.I hope you survived the storm!
ReplyDeleteI can see a sculpture in Perth in fifty years time of an 'identified photographer', celebrated for her efforts in capturing Perth in the early 21st century.
ReplyDeleteNow, this is an appropriate subject for a Perth Daily Photo photo. Very cool. And it sits at an important location, I see.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love the new banner photo.
I've never been to Perth, but I feel like I'm really getting to know it through your photos, Grace....
ReplyDeleteLove that sculpture!
ReplyDeleteVery original! I love this kind of art, street sculpture!Perfect one!

I do not recall seeing another statue in honor of photographers. There is a very moving memorial and exhibit for news photographers who have died in the lied of duty at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
ReplyDeleteYou have such amazing sculptures there, I like it very much and all the things around him on the ground. Great.
ReplyDelete«Louis» is very happy you visied San Francisco Bay Daily Photo!
ReplyDeleteRealistic sculptures like this are all the rage over this way, too. There are some in Sydney, and one of Curtin & Chifley in Canberra. And ... over in Paris there is a similar level of realism in a sculpture on the footpath outside 92 allee du Seminaire in the 6th, very close to Jardin du Luxembourg. Check it out in Google StreetView.
ReplyDeleteI love the statue. I think you might be right, kindred spirits. This is a beautiful area.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's a lovely statue
ReplyDeleteOh I love it too!

Now I see.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting to like your city the more I see of it.
ReplyDeleteMother’s Love is the only Love which last forever and ever and is the most finest Love in the World.
