| WOW- Perfect Palindrome for a Memorable Moment...Artist: Midge Johansen, Queensland, Australia. |
How fortunate was I, to be holidaying at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast at the same time as the 10th annual Swell Sculpture Festival was being held at Currumbin Beach. Even more of a co-incidence was that my wife and I happened to be cycling in the area and was able to view the entire exhibition whilst it was still fresh. I was so impressed I decided to share some of the photographs I took with you.
