    I find public art strangely satisfying. Most times people (myself included) just walk past them without a second glance. But when I'm on the lookout for them, they seem to turn up in quite unusual places.

    This one's a beaut, in spite of the drab and cluttered setting - I wonder if it is permanent or temporary?
    I like they way they rotate the Dibble sculptures outside the gallery too.

    look like discarded parts from the inside of a giant padlock.

    I’ll ha_e to ha_e a look in a discarded padlock!
    I thought i had older pictures of these pieces…. October 2012, a better site I reckon, though I had to poke the camera through the wire fence I think.

    The sculptor is Bernar Venet, who has made an amazing, gigantic, cur_ing piece for Gibbs Farm. Got a pic of that somewhere, will ha_e to hunt for it.

    fix you up with a v,

    Ha! Ian Dalziel posted me a supply of them to copy and paste. Truth is, I'm lazy, too lazy to replace keyboard, too lazy to use copy and paste as well. Amazing how you get used to a missing letter.

    Like that weighty looking sculpture, where is that and who by?

    What irritates me the most, is that I went and turned that photo around in the iPad, then reloaded it, yet it changed nothing. ARR!

    And yet the click through is the right way up! I feel your pain, but have no idea what the hell is going on anymore. It's all got _ery topsy tur_y.

    Spotted this Plover at the Northland Car Rally last week and this Rosella hangs outside the stairwell window most days. Being reflective glass is the equivalent to a mirror so it's vain or thinks it has a friend.

    To return to the topic: at a loose end in Christchurch yesterday, I took a stroll in the Botanic Gardens. This is what my phone saw:

    We’re in the tropics, where the magnolia equivalent might be the lotus flower. These from wandering today.
