I took these pictures at the Sculpture By the Sea 2006. The sculptures are set among the rocks and in the coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach.

It is an open-air exhibition of modern sculpture by Australian and international artists. The exhibition is open every November for 2 weeks, 24 hours a day and is free.There are about 108 sculptures on display. Its a photographers' delight, you can photograph to your heart's content.
