Lots of people denigrate this art piece.
I've seen it hanging in the ANG, Canberra. It's a fabulous large canvass of 4.9 x 2.1m and it's very exciting and energetic and now recognised as a terrific investment!
We had a Blue Pole experience of a different sort this morning. We followed a tourist walk along Pelican Lagoon created and maintained by the American River Progress Association. The trail is marked out by blue topped poles and punctuated by look-outs and memorials. It was as exciting and energetic as the painting but far prettier and the view was priceless!
Heck.... a 7.5km round trip. It's boot camp again!
The first thing we encountered was the Remembrance Reserve
There were plaques to commemorate all the major conflicts in which residents had participated.
This included Vietnam but not any Middle East conflicts.
Going well so far
Are we nearly there yet?
Black Swans and Oystercatchers
Phew! ...and now for the walk back. We took the road and saw different things.
The cairn at the end of the trail commemorating the building of the schooner 'Independence' by American Sealers in 1804. Hence the locality name -American River
American River is not really a river.
It's an inlet with a narrow mouth giving the impression of a river with a strong tidal stream.
Roadside bird life alert
A local has gone one step further and marked a Swan Crossing preceded by this plea to motorists
Bayview Cottage Circa 1936
Alternative architecture for a holiday shack
This holiday place appears to be a series of rooms inspired by a rainwater tank
