Very well captured. The composition raises it to the next level.

Subject: PESO - Sculpture in the Desert
G'day all
This is about as far removed from 'Sculptures by the Sea' as it's
possible to get....
Dave Savage pesoed a photo from Lake Ballard in the Aus outback about a
year ago and I knew then that this was a place I had to visit on my
recent trip across to Western Australia. It required an extra 600 km of
driving but I don't regret a single metre.
Over 50 sculptures are scattered around the lake bed and, although they
look like stick figures, each one was actually modelled on a resident of
the small town of Menzies. Each resident stripped down to to the bare
essentials and had a full body scan. Polystyrene patterns were prepared
from the scans with one important modification - each person's
horizontal dimensions were reduced by two thirds. The patterns were
finally used in the casting of the stainless steel figures.
Anyway - here's one of the sculptures. The small hill is called 'Snake
Hill'. Given that the shape of the hill looks nothing like a snake, I
can only assume that the name refers to to the hill's inhabitants -
something I wasn't aware of before I climbed to the top....
