just a drop of red in this photo, but a very important one.
This sculpture was sold last year almost as soon as it was exhibited at the Montalto vinyeards, Red Hill.

mask...

one of many sculptures scattered through the Montalto vineyards at Red Hill.
This is called Mask by Mike Nicholls and is based on a hand holding a mask.
It is in the form of a protective spirit and explores the theme of identity.
Each autumn, there is a competition at Montalto for a sculpture prize.
Some works are retained as part of the garden features.

Comfort Station

Frankston - gateway to the Mornington Peninsula - must be the only place that has this name for public toilets.
It was built in the early 1950's on the Nepean Highway - the main road through Frankston.
