backyard sculpture

Post by wattynine »

Found this by a creek bank, had to drag it in two pieces around 300 mtrs up two river banks and then in two trips carried it home on the roof rack of the car, didn't that get some looks. Have had it at home for probably a couple of years waiting for the time to get it cleaned up and get the yard landscaped to suit it. its always about time or money and having the two together at the right time.
anyhooo, this is it.
Have filled in the base now with soil and intend to plant, maybe a native grass around it.
