Heh, love the sunbather and the views are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about our sun being hotter. People I know who've visited Hawaii have told me they could spend all day out on the beach there and just lightly tan, back here in Aus, they're slapping on sunblock by the bucketful 2-3 times a day.
Some great sculptures there, very original. I love that coastal walk from Sydney to Coogee. I never noticed the Sun Police, what do they do exactly, tell people to use sunscreen? And surely sleeveless tops and shorts aren't much protection against the sun?
ReplyDeleteLove the paint splat and the sunbather somehow looks like I would look if I dared to sunbathe. I have never heard of Sun Police before but they sound like a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteLiving in a semi-arid area must mean that we have the same sun as you. Fifteen minutes in the sun and you can turn red as a beet if you do not have loads of sunscreen on. But we did pretty good this summer with us staying pretty much under 100 degrees for most of the time. Last year, I think we stayed mostly over 100 degrees. This year was a lot easier on the pocketbook as to running our AC. And you know being in menopause makes the heat almost unbearable at times. It is still in the 80's and 90's here with the Santa Ana's blowing pretty well which keeps everything so dry. This also causes lots of static electricity and I hate it because it hurts when I get shocked. I just touched a light switched and I swear the shock felt like it burnt my finger a bit. I always have to watch out so as to not shock my laptop because I have heard that static can harm it.
Thank you so much for leaving a message about our anniversary, 36 years seems so little compared to 60 years, I know that someday you would have made it that far if not for his passing. Your in-laws have set a fine example for your two young ones to follow. With laws that make it so easy to leave each other, I am suprised to hear on the news that more couples are staying together these days. They say it is the bad economy, but no matter the reason I hope it continues, especially where children are concerned. Coming from divorced parents, I still remember how hard it was on us and most of my siblings have lasted for a long time too. But wow, 60 years, that is just amazing and they still look to be in love with each other, that in itself is really amazing. Congratulations are definitely in order.
God bless.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh love them all ..I wish I had a chance to go ..I've never made it any year. Next year I will.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is so ME sunbathing.
Aloe vera for your skin darling girl. xx
I love the views, and some of the sculptures. You can send me some of the heat if you like to warm my bones.
ReplyDeletewow. those are really cool. you could probably fill a book on the social commentary that could go with each...nice curves baino...smiles.
ReplyDeleteIncredible photos -- and I love your captions! It looks like a splendid day by the sea.... much much better way to spend the day than mine, locked up in the old folks' home, cheating at Bingo under their watchful eyes to ensure they win...
ReplyDeleteOh that warm sand looks so good! I'm glad you had the break!
Absolutely awesome!Love the paint one!
ReplyDeletei love a sculpture garden, but i'm with you on nature being the best artist: the first photo shows my favorite bit of her work.
ReplyDeletehaha...who snapped you sunbathing...don't burn your bum! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat exhibit. I so need to visit Australia.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun...beautiful beach shots and interesting sculpture. I especially liked your photo of the bound rocks. Beautiful. And that paint squirting out of the tube sculpture was fabulous. I wish I could have been there in person.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scenery and photos! Aloe vera works well for sunburn. My Nana swore vinegar took the sting of sunburn away but then one wandered around smelling like a giant pickle!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful beach. I would love to see it. My favorite sculpture is 'footprints in the sand.' The theme is appropriate. Lots of imagination displayed int the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of the sculptures - I see what you mean by "interesting". But I do like some of them. And better to pique our interest than be too predictable.
ReplyDeleteSitting in dark dank damp and a bit dreary England, your day looks just excellent. Only one thing I can do to offset it, head to the one thing we've got that you haven't - a decent pub serving Rebellion.
This was great, I loved it. What a neat idea, sculpures on the beach. Thanks for sharing the photos, I wish I was there instead of raking leaves!
ReplyDeleteI don't pretend to understand art but those sculptures are incredible. Wouldn't mind the wooden man and dog for our garden....
ReplyDeleteThe sun IS hotter here - just ask weatherman Love Chunks. I can get burnt in the middle of winter!
damn! other than the scenic shots, nothing of interest...
ReplyDeleteFab photos and loved your captions. I think my favourites are the paint splodge and 'nice view.'
ReplyDeleteVery interested to learn where the sun police keep their spare bottles of water!! :)
My favorites are the bound rocks, the lunch table and the "nice view". But the natural and biological wonders were pretty nice, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that walk, I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteSome of the sculptures I saw here last year on Cottesloe beach.
I love the bondi to tamarama walk and once upon a time I did that walk almost everyday. I miss it.

Wow, that looks like an amazing place.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I loved your 10thDoM piece.
Really enjoyed the walk with you. Had a good laugh about the guy and his dog. Liked most of the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteThe one that reminded you of someone you know, reminded me of the Suntan Police girl on the right side of the photo ;-)
Just goes to show what you miss when you lie in on a Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Baino
I'm still chuckling over the sunbathing one.
Well, some of those are interesting, many want tossing into the sea (although that would pollute it, so I'd favour dumping into the artist's garden/yard), and some are okay. Like you, I'm not a sculpture or poetry person unless they're really, really good. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe only ones of those that I truly like in that setting - which is kind of important, don't you think? - are the first one and the bound rocks. Somewhere else, and I might find the grassy table set witty, and I'd be happy to smile at the paint splodge and the man and his dog.
Oh, and I do agree - I thought that guy was kissing a polar bear! LOL!
Great captures Helen! Some are so hilarious ("First My Father Died...") and some are just cool and then there's that rock sculpture sunbather. Too fun! Sending to my spousal unit. He will love the images. What fun beaches you have, my dear.
ReplyDeleteHave you gotten yourself a new camera?
ReplyDeleteSome interesting sights you spotted there and yes I thought that new man was pashing his cat too*!*
