Day 22 2016: Looking ahead...

Day 22: ...but first, breakfast

Occasionally, just occasionally, I indulge in a slow breakfast/brunch moment with friends. It's a nice little get together and catch-up on life and its moments. Today we visited a rather lovely little place not far from home, The Jam Pantry. Scrumptious. Just as scrumptious as the instagram pics promise. 

I drive past this corner just about every day. I decided to arrive a little bit early to get the lowdown on this sculpture which I've seen but not had a chance to examine more closely.

Front view

It is called 'Boy &Girl' by Terry Summers, 2012. It is white bronze on a sandblasted granite plinth. The description says: 'Boy & Girl' depicts a young boy looking through his binoculars at the city while his younger sister pleads for a chance to have a look.The sculptures reference the Greenslopes centre's city view, the diversity of community visitors and also pupils from the school close by. 

So there you go. Quirky.  Breakfast and a little more learning about the local area.
