another roadside attraction...
Meanwhile down south a ways, in that Tiny Emirate Manufacturing Useful Kaolithic Artefacts, (aka Temuka)...'Stele' by Helm Ruifrok - 'inspired by the challenge of life, DNA spirals and optical effects. We live in exciting times, yet we are still human beings and find life challenging."

(this particular installation was sponsored by locally-owned electricity distribution grid network, Alpine Energy.This was part of the 2009 Meridian Heartland Sculpture Challenge, one hopes a half sold-off Meridian will still be supporting the local arts community, further down the track...
