Headland–sculpture on Waiheke Island (Part 1)

 

Contemporary sculptures along Waiheke’s coastal walkway. Runs until Feb20th

Around 2.5km of walkway, taking you past over 40 sculptures, with extraordinary scenic views.

The sculptures for the most part seemed perfectly placed in the landscape, more like installations that made sense in that space.

I went along on a Friday morning and experienced a really hot sunny day. Thanks to all the volunteers that make this happen and take shifts during the day at points along the walk. You are amazing!

I remember as a child making long snakes of tubes using a wooden reel with four nails hammered in and leftover wool. A big scale version coils around a tree, made from plastic bags.

The surfaces situation

 

Experiencing  a fairly common occurrence of running out of surface space because there is too much going on. Love it!
