Watching over them.....

Sitting under the shade of the trees in the Florence Hummerston Reserve at the top end of St. George's Terrace is a pleasant way for the office workers in the CBD to enjoy their lunch break or catch up on personal calls. These shots were taken on Monday when it was warm and the sun was shining, it's a different story today, I think the stormy weather and strong winds will have the autumn leaves above quivering on their stalks.. and they've just turned golden, it's too soon to let go  :)

I couldn't help wondering if anyone sitting here ever looks up and sees the ethereal sculpture above them, she is untitled but I think we should call her Florence, because although Florence Hummerston was called 'Battleaxe Hummerston by her detractors I feel she had the heart of an angel. Sculpted by WA artist Simon Gilby she looks over the unknowing workers below. I think this is a clearer shot than I showed you here.. love that Olympus :) If you pull it in closer you can see that it's made up of hundreds of small coils, tres clever right! One more sleep till the weekend, have you got big plans? Happy Friday, take care and stay safe.....
