Belconnen's favorite penis shaped owl!

Look closely! Do you see it? It's probably not what Bruce Armstrong intended when designing his owl tribute for Belconnen but this sculpture, one of Canberra's most prominent BIG Things, has been nicknamed 'The Penis Owl' It's simply titled 'Owl' though and it was created in 2011 based off the Australian Powerful Owl Ninox Strenua. The BIG owl is positioned in the middle of a median strip on the Corner of Belconnen Way & Benjamin Way. Parking's a bit rough for this area so I'd strongly suggest parking at 6 Ware Pl, Belconnen. It's a 30 second walk to the sculpture and a safe place to park.

Little Billabong | Unknown

Unknown Artist There was no TAG on the tank and driver Maty assures me the tank has been there for at least a year. I've usually driven the last stretch to Albury and never noticed it until our last trip to Albury when I was passenger and had the freedom to really digest my surroundings. I managed make a pitstop at the rest stop last trip in and got there just as the light was fading! 📍 Little Billabong Rest Area

Brisbane CBD | Arnaldo Pomodoro

Arnaldo Pomodoro This sculpture gained a lot of recognition from non art appreciators thanks to the more modern Dr Who tv series. The sculpture is titled 'Forme del Mito' It's a set of four bronze sculptures all representing an element, in this case, a person from an ancient Greek myth... from the bronze age! I grew up reading a lot! I loved mythology so this sculpture was a no brainer when it came to picking a favourite. Let me set some context! The myth starts with the wedding of Peleus (the King of Phthia) and Thetis (a sea nymph and one of 50 daughters of a primordial God, Nereus. Nereus was the offspring of Gaia (Earth) and her son Pontus (a sea deity) This probably isn't important to the story but since Gaia is the grandmother of our Olympian Gods you can imagine when an offspring gets married the entire family gets invited, including all the Gods and Goddess's Except one.. Eris the Goddess of Discord.. Feeling slighted Eris gifted the couple a golden apple...
