In order to avoid being at home, after Elder's appointment we took a tram to Docklands and wandered around. It's a brisk day for it but we had fun at the Docklands park (the one on Harbour Esplanade with the trees on top of the grassy knoll and the wind spinny thing).
In all, I'm pretty impressed with the public art and green spaces in this city. It leads me to ask this question of the DT: what is your favourite piece of public art in Melbourne?
In Melbourne: The Cow in the tree in Docklands always brightened my day. I don't know that it's high art exactly, but it brings joy and that's more than good enough for me.
In Perth: I've always loved this triangle thing:
Hey I love that triangle thing! I like how the base doesn't stand out so at first glance it looks like some weirdly hovering portal. The cow is pretty funny, I too like art that makes me smile.
there's a special name to describe that kind of sculpture ( a frame outdoors ) but I can't remember it.
