The Drip #2
THE LARGER VIEW IS THE BEST VIEW FOLKS!
THE SUBJECT:
A large stainless steel sculpture called The Drip is caught in the setting sun of a brilliant winter day.
[“The Drip” was sculpted by Peter Allison, a local artist. It is 4.5m tall and 2m diameter and is made of 316 grade stainless steel rod.]
THE LOCATION:
Photographed at Cowarra Dam, between Port Macquarie and Wauchope, NSW, Australia.
THE MAKING OF ‘The Drip #2’:
I was driving back home after a day trip into the country and as I neared the turn-off to the dam I realised I had not been there for well over a year.
As the late afternoon light of a winter day was painting everything in gold I was very interested in what it was doing at the dam.
Well now we both know!

My thanks to the Judges for the honour and to all who have appreciated and supported this work. Without such encouragement and support it may still be buried deep in my hard drive never to see the light of competition.
