SCULPTURE BY THE SEA



Last weekend, we had the opportunity to go see "Sculpture by the Sea" - another first for us!

"Sculpture by the Sea began in 1996 with an art exhibition held over one day at Bondi beach and is now an annual event. In 1995, David Handley was living in Prague and visited an outdoor sculpture park in Klatovy, Northern Bohemia. He was inspired to do something similar in Australia. The works of art are spread across the cliffs from Bronte Beach to Bondi Beach via Tamarama Beach. Every year the coastal walk is transformed into a seaside art gallery. Over 100 sculptures are exhibited in the background of sea and the coastal landscape along the two kilometre coastal walk." (thank you Wikipedia)

We had a marvelous time walking along the cliffs with the sunshine on our faces and the wind in our hair.  It was a really HOT day but, we were grateful for the chance that we had to  the LARGEST art instillation in the world.

Some of our favorites are below....however, there are some that were VERY unique.  I just keep telling myself that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  :)









This was our FAVORITE!!! 




Yes, it is a EXTRA LARGE FRYING PAN - to illustrate people's obsession to always be tan.
Skin cancer anyone?
