"Anna"
One of Melbournes many horse statues/sculptures. “She is called Anna the Horse and was made in 1991/92. The gold mane is 24 carat gold leaf.”
Ref :(Daniel Jenkins)
This statue rises quite high up hence the angle it was taken on. I particularly liked the golden mane. Taken on south east corner of Bourke and Swanston Street, Melbourne, Victoria July 2008.
Anna the horse stands opposite “Wally the pig” who proudly stands on the north east corner of Bourke and Swanston Streets Melbourne.
As Daniel says ” Always remember to look up”
Thanks to Deb for passing on the name of the wonderful creator of this windvane.
Please take the time to visit Daniels website.

I dig the bacground on this alot!
salsbells69 replied
Thankyou..i had to tweak the tone..due to the weather in Melbourne today..just to bring out the highlights in the statue..so hence the warmer looking surrounds.
