Not the original much loved by the people of Fremantle Bella who you have seen here before, she was unfortunately stolen in October last year by a Fremantle man who has been jailed for nine months. Unfortunately the original buxom Bella created by local Freo artist Greg James and weighing in at 150 kg was never found, presumed cut up for scrap metal. Bella 2 is now sitting much more securely on her bench at Bathers Beach awaiting the many locals and tourists who love to have their picture taken with her. Along with many others I am happy to see her back there in her green bikini by the sea. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. there is a picture captured of the man riding away on a BICYCLE with Bella in a cart behind him, at 150 kg that would have been no easy plunder!
...a wonderful saying.
ReplyDeleteSad to think the previous one became scrap. Welcome to the new Bella.
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
ReplyDeleteHow awful to rob something that substantial just for cashing in on the scrap metal!
Glad it got reinstalled once again and hope this will LAST.
Hugs,

Bella escultura i bonica frase ! A gaudir-ne !!
ReplyDeleteA large sculpture was stolen here a couple of weeks ago. There are fools everywhere, Grace! I'm glad she is back!
ReplyDeleteGood that she's back, even in a new form.
ReplyDeleteQuite a heist!
ReplyDeleteQuite a heist!
ReplyDeleteBella, she's a beauty and glad she's back for the sequel.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty!! Sad to think about the original sculpture being stolen and chopped up for scrap metal. Clearly not an art lover!
ReplyDeleteoh what is wrong with people stealing? so bad but good to see there is a replacement.
ReplyDeleteBella is charming, and yes, I would have my picture taken with her. Hard to believe someone would be so nasty as to steal the original sculpture. Not sure nine months was long enough to teach that guy a lesson.
ReplyDeleteWell Trip Out On That
ReplyDeleteCheers
I remember the pic we took there with you.
ReplyDeleteCan´t wait to (sadly have) to meet (the new) one.
What weirdo does that, Grace????
A very nice statue and glad it sits again where it belongs.
ReplyDeleteLove Bella, she looks so good!
ReplyDeleteUma bela peça de escultura, gostei.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

She's rather wonderful. What kind of a person steals something like that? Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Beautiful clicks.
ReplyDeleteBella looks lovely sitting there and enjoying the view.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't have a green bikini before, looks great. Glad she's back, she was very popular :)
ReplyDeleteGood news that Bella is back. That's not easy to take her away.
ReplyDeleteBut a very nice statue. Funny to sit near her and make a picture.
Nice shots Grace!!
Greetings, Marco
I do love bronze sculptures, she is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely! What a shame that someone would destroy a work of art to sell as scrap metal.

ReplyDeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
