An obese slinky

A sculpture down the stairwell of the George Street entrance to the Hilton Hotel.

And here are two more shots that I include because I listen to my readers. Yes, Joan, I liked the 'hanging gardens', too. And they made a great combination with the glass restaurant. The dome of the QVB which I showed yesterday. looms behind, and above, this restaurant.

    Boy, I guess so... lol! Interesting, without the person in the shot there wouldn't be a good size reference...

    Your photo's make me think I might like Sydney a lot.
    I like the sculpture. Sometimes I think that at the end art will let us survive this crisis.

    I think I'll just leave obesity alone for the nonce and say I love the hanging garden.

    The bloke in the corner gives you an idea of how huge the slinky is.

    Great shots! I like the way the figure humanises the slinky and gives a sense of scale too.

    I like the guy in the corner. These wire sculptures are popular in parks now. The hanging gardens are impressive.

    Great description of this sculpture. I wonder whether the artist gave it a name?

    Ah ha you gottem. Well done. I figured they would we rather difficult to capture. But the slinky is great ... don't remember seeing it there but it I realise now that it's 5 years since I was doing functions in city hotels.
