Mist Sculpture 1

These photos don't really do it justice, because the reality is quite magical. The fog settles amongst the trees and descends into the shallow depression around the artificial lake, changing the mood of the landscape entirely.

The Sculpture Gallery has quite an extensive collection of works, and Morgan and I both also fell in love with the floating sphere sculpture Diamonds by NZ artist Neil Dawson:

Morgan's atmospheric photos of Diamonds are here.

i love the sculpture garden. do they still have the restaurant? it's a perfect place in summer - running through the mist cools you down perfectly.
It seems as though you and Morgan and Tops, Mouse and myself did pretty much the same things on Sunday. I've chatted about some of it on my other blog (go to my profile and it's listed there after ForBattle) and even have some wanky photos on my flickr thingy.
How very synchronised!
I love Sphere 1.
OK, can you lose the illusion for me? What's up with it?
It's a steel mesh sphere that's suspended in the middle of about a dozen very fine wires. In most light you can barely see the wires and it looks like it's floating. I really like it.
Wow! When did those fog sculptures appear? And the sphere? They look excellent! It's a reason to actually visit canberra. Who would have thought?
Mr Snerg, the fog sculpture thingy was installed in 1977! I never knew it was thre either...
77 you say? Cor that's embarressing! I wonder what else is there that I've missed!!?
