Searchlight

Bomber Command [Neil Dawson, 2005, stainless steel, glass and granite]

One more image from the Australian War Memorial. Bomber Command is a sculpture by Neil Dawson. Made of stainless steel, glass and granite, it was acquired by commission in 2005. This is a World War II Royal Australian Air Force memorial - the 16.5 metre column represents a searchlight reaching into the sky. Neil Dawson is the same artist responsible for Diamonds at the National Gallery of Australia.

Thanks Pierre. I'm trying to find a balance between interesting shots and putting the image in context so you can actually see what it is. Sometimes one photo can't do both jobs. But I'm learning, and having fun with it :)

It sits well in the park because of it's light lacey appearance.
