Curiosity, a surreal playground installation of six seesaws with giant eyes. Inspired by the whimsical world of Joan Miró. Artist Amigo & Amigo. Vivid 2025 #Abstractia #Eyes #AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNeon

Part of an installation at Vivid 2025. Artist Amigo & Amigo
The scene is dark, during the night, with a seesaw lit up with two eyes on a pole in the middle. What would be a long flat board on a regular playgound seesaw here is round, tube like, lit up with a purplish. In the middle of this tube on an unseen pole are two round eyes,one atop the other. The whites of the eyes are also a purplish colour.A person is sitting on each end of the tube, in silhouette. To the left of the frame is the end of another seesaw, this one with oval eye shape partly in view.
The installation is Inspired by the whimsical world of Joan Miró, a surreal playground of six interactive seesaws with giant eyes gazing back at those on it as they move up and down.

First of many this week I imagine. I know I have some to post, taken over several years of Vivid.

Cotoneaster in autumn Yes it's a poisonous weed here in NSW, but it sure can photograph nice 😀 #Abstractia #Leaves #photography

A cotoneaster plant growing over a beige coloured wall. The leaves of the plant are mostly green with some red, some yellow. A small red berry is at the end of the main branch. The background consists of other branches not in focus and the wall.

This plant just keeps on providing me with images (some better than others 😆) #PurpleFriday #FlowersOnFriday #photography #bloomscrolling

Purple fountain grass growing in an unseen garden bed by the road. Few of the plant's leaves are in view, more the flowers. Some of the leaves are green, some are purple. The flowers are long feathery arched seed heads, most purple, some straw coloured. A shadow falls across the road behind the plant, that of a power pole with light and lines.

What is now Victoria Cross Metro Station and tower above. From my archives, 30 September 2020 For two years I took at least one photo per week of this site. Not really sure why at the time, possibly just because I could. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery #photography

A construction site, as seen from above through an office window opposite. The window has dirt and other fine material on it carried by the air from the site. Several excavators and graders and other machines are seen, breaking and moving the earth to form a big hole in the ground. On a platform by the road is a the road by the site is a B double truck, being filled with what is being removed from the site.

Move to the back of the bus please It looked better in my head as I was suddenly remembering I needed something red for today after a difficult and trying morning with groceries still to go . . . #ColourADay #RedWed #photography #reflections

Looking at the front area of a bus, from the accessible side seats. On the floor is a red painted area, with the words NO STANDING AREA in yellow capital letters. This is reflected on the silver metal area below an unseen luggage storage area. Part of a left shoe and trouser leg is visible, belonging to a passenger sitting on the front seat behind the driver.

There is a bluey in the same garden, but you don't see it out often as a family of kookaburras live across the road and have the run of the street.

Zooming in on a penny lizard poking its head out from a brick veneer crack in a wall, on a dull Tuesday morning #TextureTuesday #photography #skinks

Close up view of a skink poking its head out of a crack in a brick wall. About half its body is in view, two legs in full view and one back leg not quite. The bricks are blonde and the mortar is light in colour, and quite textured. Some green is visible on the bricks, probably mould given the orientation of the wall.

The making of a big hole below the surface of North Sydney, in what would become Victoria Cross Metro Station with a 42 floor building above. August 2020, as seen from the fourth floor of the building opposite via phone camera. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #photography

Looking down through a fourth floor office window to a construction site across the road, at what is now becoming a big hole in the ground. Steps in protective scaffolding lead down to the bottom of site, with lighting seen turned on. Various machines are in the process of breaking rock on the left of the frame, with their operational lights visible through the rock dust in the air on an overcast afternoon. Some of the broken material is in the process of being tipped into a truck at the right of the frame. The window being looked through is, not surprisingly, covered in rock dust.
This is the early stages of the construction of the metro station at North Sydney, what will be known as Victoria Cross.

I don't think this is where pegs come from, though in our garden this is often where they are found 😀 #ColourADay #OrangeSun #photography #gardenlife

A peg lying in a group of unidentified clumping plants. The peg is plastic, and orange in colour. Sunlight falls across the image, making shadows on the plant and peg.

Looking up at a section of 1000 Cranes, an installation at Vivid 2018. Artists: Ambient & Co- Christopher Simpson, Isabella Bain, Anthony Zeater, James Rotanson, Khanh Nguyen Can't miss the #lights in this one 😂* #photography *see my previous #BlueSkyArtShow submission

A section of an installation at Vivid 2018. 1000 Cranes is inspired by an ancient Japanese legend: if a group of 1000 origami cranes (known in Japanese as senbazuru) are hung in one’s home it will act as a powerful and benevolent charm and bring good luck.
The installation is a canopy of hanging origami cranes that light up as visitors move through the space. As the crowd grows more cranes light up until 1000 cranes are fully illuminated. The light colours of the cranes are individually white, blue, red, purple orange and yellow in this section captured. Most of them are purple. Some cranes are dark, not lit up.

There was prudent use of zoom after I uploaded the photo, not sure what I'd find. At the time of taking the photos (and being on the last pub of the Guinness Crawl) I was concentrating on the sky and also remembering Save Our Sirius and the campaigns to stop the sale of public housing in the area

Not long before sunset tonight looking over what was once public housing in Millers Point, Sydney And tiny tiny tiny #lights of the string variety (barely visible, in silhouette) for #BlueSkyArtShow, where we are all friends, yes 😀? #photography #sunsets #sunset

Looking over the roofline of terrace houses at a setting sun and clouds. The roofline is in silhouette, with the sun reflecting off some of the railings on the top level of the houses underneath. On the right a rooftop structure with a cover and tiny tiny string lights hanging from a possible pagoda like structure. Two chimney pots are atop a chimney in the middle of the frame. The sun is behind this chimney, a golden yellow blending into brown among the clouds. A tall pole with something oval on top, possibly an air vent, is off to the left of the chimney.

Night construction lights across the valley (at a distance of about 2km or so) #BlueSkyArtShow #Lights #photography

Construction lights at night. A building is being constructed, and certain parts of it are lit up. A crane it to the right of the frame. As the building is close to an airport there are red flashing lights on the tallest parts, in the photo showing red, not flashing. The crane also has red lights.

Pear in the gutter At least it's biodegradable (and is being helped along if you look closely 😄) #SensoryArt #fruit #ColourADay #GreenSat #photography #gutter #pears #discarded

Close up view of a pear in a street gutter, with some leaves, flowers, sticks and other detritus. The pear is lying on its side, over a join in the gutter. One half of the pear is green, where the stalk is, the other is more yellow. There is visible damage, bruising, marks; and a hole in the skin/flesh facing upwards with insects feeding on it. Small fruit flies (presumably) are on the outside skin, and also inside the hole eating the flesh. A small black caterpillar looking creature is at the edge of the hole. The light is dull but there are some shadows around the pear and also the top left of the frame from an unseen parked car.

Goodness knows why, but I can't not post it #Threesday #whynot #photography

Close up view of the back of a washing machine sitting on the verge. Three hoses are in view. Two are attached to the back by nuts - one nut blue, the other red. The other hose is held the the machine by a clamp, the end with a red nut is not fixed. There is some dust or similar on the back near the attached hoses. Some light is reflected, possibly from the windows of the house behind, making shadows on the back.

Empty shop life Reusing this photo as it fits this week perfectly #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #photography #emptyshop

Looking through a window with bars to a shop that has been empty for many years. The bars are both metal and wooden. The window has no glass or other material covering it. The floor is covered in dust and detritus. A doorway leads to another room, filled with sunlight. In the main room sunlight is seen on the floor coming in through a side window.

Footpath still life (under seasonally confused trees two weeks ago) #ColourADay #RedWed #leaves #photography

Three fallen leaves and some sticks on a footpath in weird light. The middle leaf is red, an autumn colour. It is the beginning of spring, September. Under this leaf is a stick. with most of it visible. To the right of the leaf is a smaller stick, about 2cm or so in length. Above the red leaf is a smaller leaf that is a light reddish green colour. Below the middle leaf is a green leaf, curled at the edges.

I generally don't take photos of roses, but for some reason this month I have been #ColourADay #PinkMon #flowers #bloomscrolling #roses

Close up view of a pink rose growing on the plant. Some of the petals look as though they are damaged or deformed.

I also like it, it's a masterpiece and a reminder 😀 The mug was cleaned and disinfected (many times) a few years ago now

Beautiful yet slightly horrifying I've used this photo before but not for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #photography #mould #mug

Looking into a tall white mug that has different colours of mould on the bottom. The colours are splodges of yellow, white, blueish grey, and black. Reflections of the photographer and mould are seen on the inside wall of the mug. The mug is sitting on a bright yellow formica kitchen bench, with handle to the right edge of the frame.

#Wheel says no This vehicle was in the same place for over a month so I may have posted a similar photo before ('cos you never know what you'll need for a challenge, so you capture everything 😀) #SensoryArt #flat

A flat tyre on a silver vehicle. The wheel shown is the front left passenger side. Part of the road, kerb and gutter is in view, with some dead leaf debris in the gutter. It is an overcast day so the scene looks a bit dull.

Bird splatter (on my car roof, and yes it's now removed, and yes I should wash the car 😀) #Abstractia #Splatter

Extreme close up view of a dark bird dropping on the roof of a white car. Thick stripes are seen running across the frame, shadows through a picket fence atop a retaining wall the car is parked below. The roof looks dirty, as the car has not been washed for a while.

Yes, I can see that. The roses in our units' garden were neglected for too long and now look as though they belong in a scary movie after an evil mad scientist has taken to them.

Knarred With obligatory power lines 😀 Photo doesn't do it justice #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKn… #trees #photography #spring

A tree on the street with twisted thick branches. Some of the smaller branches are bare, others have spring green leaves growing. The background is blue sky. Power lines are running across the lower third of the frame.

Much used (and washed) wine red knockoff With my usual styling inadequacies #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKn… #ColourADay #RedWed #photography #hobobag

A wine red handbag on a landing. The bag is a nylon shoulder bag, with a single strap and front and side zip pockets. The wall of the landing is a beige colour and has some texture to it. The base, and what looks like a skirting board but isn't a board, is a dark blackish grey colour.

Thank you. There will be young people, children of original Crawlers, attending this year so there should be a few layers at least. I take the photo on burst mode and go with the highest shot the pyramid reaches.

Golden hour reflections (through a hint of hazard reduction smoke), last week Right time, right place #WindowsOnWednesday #wednesdaywindows #windowswednesday #photography

Looking a the outside of a building, with part of the roof and brick wall in view. Two windows are in full view. Power lines run across the frame. It is golden hour, possibly with some smoke in the air from recent hazard reduction burns. The light is hitting one of the windows and drainpipe with dramatic golden colour. The whole scene has a glow to it, reflected on the metal gutters and top part of the building.

Some may say daftness, madness given this pyramid occurs after seven or so pints of Guinness have been consumed; fellow Guinness Crawlers say tradition. And in 18 days, on AFL Grand Final day we attempt it again . . . #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJForJocular #photography #humanpyramid

A human oyrmaid, with layers three, two and one. The top person looks to be falling off, but this is as hogh as the pyramid reached. The pyramid is in a park, with a church in the background. A taix is on the road, to the right of the pyramid, about to pass by. A light blue backpack is in view, half in frame in the lower right
