Sculptures by the Sea 2014

Every year the infamous Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk is covered with beautiful sculptures made by local and international artists. Only recently moving to Sydney in 2012, I've only had the chance to make an appearance this year and last (also because it falls during my exam period and in first year uni I was quite the scholar).

I've always loved Bondi Beach, it's one of my favourite places in Sydney because it boasts such breathtaking views. I have been on the cliffside walk a few times now and absolutely love it. It's quite an easy walk, though there are quite a few stair cases, but it is so so so worth it because the views really are absolutely stunning.

The thing I really loved about Sculptures this year was that they had a pop up by The Grounds of Alexandria, cleverly named 'The Grounds by the Sea'. Breakfast/brunch is my favourite meal of the day and I do love a good morning walk (that is, when I can get out of bed early enough to do this), so this was such a perfect combo of a morning. Mondays aren't always bad :)

Being Spring, there were so many flies around and they were absolutely driving me crazy but I must say, the food was worth it.

So here are a few photos from the morning (like, 7 am kinda morning). Some of the sculptures really caught my eye, others were okay, but overall, such an amazing event with so much creative energy that probably prompted me to make this blog in the first place.

NB: The photos were taken with my iPhone as it didn't cross my mind that I would be making a blog and posting them

This particular piece came with instructions that mentioned something along the lines of it being better viewed when standing on top where on the floor surface, blurry, stretched images were printed. Once standing on the platform, the reflection in the pole made the images take form and shape. 

I would definitely say this was in my top three.

Head down to the East if you have time, Sculptures is on till 9th November 2014 and is highly recommended, and even if you don't have time now, head down when you can and do the coastal walk. This high recommendation shouldn't be taken lightly as it is coming from someone who rarely, and I use this term loosely cause it's really closer to never, exercises.

Thank you for reading, I hope you're having a good day!
