This Statue has always been there since I can remember.
My husband and I once pitched a hired tent just beyond the sign in the green grass on a very hot summers day. We got sunburnt and had to pack up and go home, that was in 70's, inside the tent was too hot and no where else for shelter from the sun or heat. We never went tenting after that :)
More orange lichens at Binalong Bay on the East Coast of Tasmania.
Lo primero que llamó mi atención es esa estatúa tan interesante, pero lo que más me ha sorprendido los bellos paisajes que esas piedras intensifican.
ReplyDeleteMuy buenos los encuadres y sus respectivas composiciones.
No me cansaría nunca de fotografíar un lugar como este.
Besos
Nature is a wonderful things to have such beauty so we all can take photos of it and share to others. :)
DeleteLOVE the scenery. That statue isn't really to my taste - but doesn't need to be either.
ReplyDeleteSunburn can be incredibly painful can't it?
Thanks.
DeleteNot my cuppa tea either that statue, but seeing it was done years ago it's ok.
Well I can't remember the sunburn from that time being too painful. I normally go very brown if I've been in the sun too much and my ancestors come from Ireland mainly and England, however I believe there is supposed to be Spanish blood way back but we the family haven't been able to prove it. I guess a DNA test would.
The statue looks very welcoming!! : ))
ReplyDeleteThat was a summer you will never forget!
I like those rocks.
No, never forget that summer as I'm still talking about it :)
DeleteThe red on the rocks is beautiful. I guess it wasn’t so hot as the last time you were there!
ReplyDeleteWe were there in summer Cynthia and the weather was warm but not as hot as that summer we got burnt years ago.
DeleteThat lichen is so appealing.
ReplyDeleteIt's attractive to look at.
DeleteAwesome statue, tents are not for me
ReplyDeleteStatue is a good one, different.
DeleteWouldn't tent myself now either.
That's a unique statue
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Never seen another in Australia.
DeleteLove your photos and the rocks are amazing. I used to like camping in the tent, but gave it up after a very wet weekend away. I think you have to have perfect weather to enjoy camping in a tent.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree with you about tenting, fun when fine but not when wet.
DeleteI really doubt a a statue like that would be erected today. Even in campervan or caravan, bad weather can spoil a holiday and you don't want it so hot you can't really do anything.
ReplyDeleteShould there wouldn't be today, it would cause an uproar, same if they took it down today.
DeleteWeather plays a big part in a holiday, we have been to Cairns a lot of times and the last two it rained often which put a damper on things.
Nice statue :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photos especially the third one with glimpses of houses beyond the trees.
You are like me then, I too am pleased to see houses over looking the sea far from the trees...good at night time.
DeleteMuy bellas escenas de naturaleza, amiga
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's often the subject that is lovely.
DeleteEstupendas fotos de los líquenes rojos. Nunca los había visto.
ReplyDeleteBuen miércoles.
Un abrazo.
Thanks. Always something different to see that we haven't seen before in this world.
DeleteMother is a fantastic sculptor, huh
ReplyDeleteLovely inlet
They have had her painted different colours over the years, not bright but neutral and once when visiting they had painted her bikini red.
DeleteEsta precioso. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteIt is :)
DeleteI find the statue amusing-- showing the town has a sense of humor. Art it isn't, but... how many welcome signs are?
ReplyDeleteJust the one welcome sign there, have seen a few welcome signs on the border of some towns here in Australia - plus some have 'thank you for visiting' or similar.
DeleteThe statue is different, unique to that town.
Beautiful boulders, and the lichen, pure orange.
ReplyDeleteSo many of those rocks or boulders all along the coast scattered here and there, some areas much thicker than others.
DeleteThat statue, wonder how many men want photo taken of them beside it? Did you tell us in another post that a place was called Bay of Fires because of that orange/red lichen? That lichen is amazing color, we have some here that is yellow, but it is mostly grey. (We have stone mountains or monadnocks, where you can see lots of lichen. )
ReplyDeleteYes I did tell you in another post that that area was called the Bay of Fires - you have a good memory :) so well done.
DeleteSounds interesting there where you are then..
Oh sorry for early bad experience dear Margaret!
ReplyDeleteliked the welcoming lady :)
second image is so well taken ,brilliant shots each
Thanks Baili.
DeleteWell the sunburn way back then didn't last for long, thank goodness.
I'm not sure what to make of that statue …
ReplyDeletebut those orange lichens are an amazing colour:)
All the best Jan
Well that statue is very different, often wondered who did it but can never find out when I decide to look.
DeleteYes, that orange is rather bright in that area.
