These people were guests at a wedding, a very significant cultural celebration. Their clothes are also a clear indication of their cultural background and the fact they’ve nipped out for a smoke also seems to be part of their culture.
How did that get up there? Can’t help but wonder about the actual building of this. The “ship” overhangs the building, how amazing did it look with all the equipment putting everything in place? There are even palms growing up there.
That’s the best I can do in a single photo but hopefully here is a more complete story. Timing and patience are so important in photography.
These sculptures are in a Shopping Complex at Melrose Park, South Australia. I think the area used to be the Carpark for Hills Industries who made the ubiquitous Australian, Hills Hoist, rotating washing line. Maybe the sculptures are made from left over bits!

This statue celebrates the contribution made by Drovers in the harsh Outback areas of Australia. It’s sited at a place called Newcastle Waters, north of Elliot in the Northern Territory. There are a few old town buildings which can can be explored and a school still operates on what is actually a 10,353 sq km cattle station.
These sculptures are alongside the walking/cycling track in the Plympton Park area of Adelaide.
I altered my original photo using the Liquify filter in Photoshop. I wouldn’t tackle it as a multipiece Jigsaw.
Below is the original photo just full of gorgeous colour.
