Sculpture by the Sea 1..

I'm sure it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone :) that yes we did head down early yesterday morning  to Sculpture by the Sea on Cottesloe Beach. We arrived just after 6am as we always do for four very good reasons, one to find a parking easily, two to beat the heat (39C), three to beat the crowds and most important of all to have breakfast before the cafes are overflowing.. coffee at this time in the morning is imperative! The shot above just before sunrise at 6.15 and below about an hour after. The  plan was that we would go off and do our own thing, Aimee along the beach.. can you see the red head down there, there's no denying that Aimee adds colour wherever she goes :) myself along the top on the path...

Well that lasted all of about the time it took for me spot 'the book cave'.. an interactive piece by WA artist Juliet Lea. The work 'allows the viewer to sit within stories looking out to sea, a place for contemplation, dreaming and reading'. Unfortunately I just missed the young lady below doing exactly that.. was fun to see people doing what I was doing, checking how many of the books I had read.. Wilbur Smith, Colleen McCullough, Robert Ludlum, to name a few..  pull these shots in and see how many books you can spot that you have read, let's make it a 'virtual interactive piece' :) As you can imagine this is just the beginning, there are many more shots to come. Hope you had/are having a fab weekend, take care and stay safe..P.s. rather a nice hat left behind on the fence there! P.p.s off to bed early last night, big catch up today!
