Meteorite..fire..water..earth.....

This is my favourite water sculpture in Forrest Place. Called 'Meteorite', made from orbicular granite from Mt. Magnet in WA, the sphere sits rotating in an atomized mist of water. It's pretty hard to resist putting your hands on the cool smooth surface and trying to rotate the sphere, the young girl here looks pretty determined! Although it has a name plate on the base with the name Josef Kusser I wasn't able to establish whether he is the sculptor, however I do know that the paving feature to the side in swirling black and pink granite featuring geckos is by Malcolm McGregor. The bottom shot is to show where it sits in relation to the rest of the features in Forrest Place, you can see the newish sculpture affectionately (?) called The Cactus way back there, and in front of that the very latest water feature The Labyrinth. Happy Tuesday, hope your week is moving along as planned, take care....
