AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

That's an incredible sculpture! How big is it?

Reminds me of Mt Rushmore, only I imagine, quite a lot smaller.

Neat macro Gemma -- well composed and the lighting is perfect. I'd be tempted to try this one in B&W.
