AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Is it just a curiosity?

An equilateral triangle of
Wood boards and
Bark chips
Displays
Three
Tall
Carved posts
Strategically placed at
Cardinal points
~
The posts look like
Old piers from
Some old jetty
Perhaps graced with
Old watermarks
~
Each post is
Chiselled out in
Random chunks and
Crossed
Bolted with
Fragments of
Other old woods
~
A fascinating
Sculpture
Artwork
Of sorts
~
But in truth
WHAT IS THAT?

Gemma,

We would never really know until we enter the artist's mind.

Artworks are open gates to the artists' souls. Often, we only view them from the outside, but there's so much more to their creations if we enter the gates of their imaginations.

I wish you well.

Inspired. Truly odd - I have NO idea what it is and I love your prose.

Now, that is really odd!

Definitely odd to me -- maybe a sort of totem pole or bird houses. . .
