It has a similar look to some of the pieces I've seen of his (like the one at Nepenthe Winery in the Adelaide hills) I rather like his work.<br /><br />And I do like the flying foxes - my son used to call me a fruit bat (which I suppose is better than an old bat).Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-10082913403610861372013-12-31T15:50:41.896+10:302013-12-31T15:50:41.896+10:30Mimsie; there's probably a good reason why you...Mimsie; there's probably a good reason why you don't have bats there. I don't mind your long comments at all, they're Chatty and I like that. <br /><br />Delores; I might take a closer look at that sculpture one day, see if there is a descriptive plaque nearby.<br /><br />Joanne; probably the squeamishness is from centuries of Dracula tales. I like walking bridges bridges better too, there's time to stop and look.<br /><br />fishducky; I drive you batty? Thank you, oddly, that pleases me. Happy New Year to you too. <br /><br />Vicki; aha! Flying Foxes, the name I couldn't remember. I love the tiny ones too, I'd stand in the side yard in my previous home at dusk and watch them swooping and soaring in groups. The sculpture does look like a chain, maybe it represents Australian links to somewhere else.

Maybe we don't have them here in the West. I must say I am fascinated by them and feel a tad envious that we don't have them here.<br />I can't make out what the sculpture depicts either but I really do like it. It doesn't look all that secure but I am sure it is though. Very cleverly done.<br />I'm sorry I seem to write much longer comments than many others do so do forgive me please.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-57314889677602076862013-12-30T21:23:27.129+10:302013-12-30T21:23:27.129+10:30Geo; welcome to drifting.

I am not sure what type of bat they are either. If they are fruit bats they are probably gorging on overripe fruit on trees as well as zoo left overs. Many bats eat insects though, and I hope they are partial to mosquitoes. Lots and lots of mosquitoes.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
