Energy - 22

South Australia

Me and my rosy friend Lyn spent an enjoyable afternoon at an unveiling
of a commemorative plaque to a former gardener who spent 47 years tending
the beautiful gardens of Carrick Hill. We discovered a couple of new
looking statues which to me fitted the bill for "ENERGY" ... the main
picture is of a young boy either attempting a hand stand or in the midst
of a cartwheel.. and here's a photo of a nymph leaping from a watery
fountain amongst a sea of Alister Clarke roses.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3
1/400s f/4.0 at 5.1mm iso80 full exif

I could never manage a perfect cart wheel and wanted to so much :-)
Love this statue. The tree behind is gorgeous.

Wonderful sculptures that reveal a true energetic spirit, as the trees and lush gardens reveal the energy and imagination that was expended in their planning and planting.
