This sculpture is simply amazing. It's called Form of Scenery and is by Japanese artist Koichi Ishino. made of marble and stainless steel.The first time I saw this, it didn't move me, and that's because it was a grey dawn. The following week I came back - and WOW! look at that sunrise reflected in the mirrored curve and planes! I've put more pictures of this one on Sydney Daily Photo Extra. It also reminds me of this installation in Monte Carlo.

This so simple its brilliant! I'm sure the artist would disagree about it being simple, but you know what I mean! A great way to show the sky for SWF :)
ReplyDeleteIt does look rather unassuming until you see the brilliant sky in it! Terrific post.

ReplyDeleteTruly awesome pictures.
ReplyDeleteRoger - I'll call you Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, spectacular & true sky watch. I'm going back to look again & again! So well done, Sally!
ReplyDeleteWow! You photographed that beautifully to bring out why the sculpture is so awesome. Fabulous sky watch photo!
ReplyDeleteYou have composed this well, Sally. I like the effect.
ReplyDeleteVery cool...
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked at the first photograph I thought it had to be by the same artist as the one in Monaco - he has installed that Sky Mirror in several cities. But no, I see it's by another artist and how beautifully you've photographed it. Your sky scapes are just fabulous, Sally.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I didn't know about the discovery of a mass grave near to Fromelles. How absolutely awful. I do like the photo you linked to - and yes, didn't she look French and oh so chic.
That's really breathtaking. And it's quite clever, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWow! The 1st two shots look absolutely fantastic! I only realized what I was looking at after seeing the 3rd photo. Well done!
ReplyDeletegood shot i like the first one when you ask yourself what is it ?Really good effect !
ReplyDeleteYou're right, this sculpture is amazing! Fantastic choice for SWF, Sally!
ReplyDeleteHappy Skywatching!
How fantastic! Would love to see this!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple thing - and such a great effect!
ReplyDeleteI like the second photo the best, reflections are awesome!
Hi Sally! Sorry for the long delay in coming here, but the last two weeks were too hectic!
ReplyDeleteFinally I managed to get to your blog, and see some wonderful pictures! You keep surprising with the never ending sculptures. Gorgeous!! But the jacarandas are awesome! We'll have to wait till May... ;))
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is back to Greece in November 2007 and waiting for your comments (when you'll find a minute to get there... ;))
Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
These are really amazing photos! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt's an unusual sculpture and an amazing reflection. Very nice shot.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Just awesome!
