A new-to-me sculpture on Fremante's wharf

While we were in Fremantle on the wharf, I saw this cute dog made out of dozens of circles of iron. I guess it’s iron or metal of some sort. Perhaps it will be an inspiration to @Fleura who is going to have welding lessons soon. There are a number of sculptures on the wharves, including a couple of really nice ones of fishermen with their baskets. There is also one of Bon Scott from the rock band AC/DC. I’ve put up photos of some of these a year or two back but I hadn’t noticed the dog before. Weatherwise, it’s a rough day here today and we have a doctor’s appointment later. At least, there are no typhoon warnings for us.

We've seen some lovely sculptures over the years. This one was in Singapore.

He's quite a cute dog. One ear is floppy.

I saw one in you tube but they call it mosaic they are actually using plates and teapot, and glasses to make one.. they break glasses, plates for the mosaic and the result is really amazing.

We've just had some thunder so we might be in for a bit more rain.

The "dog" looks as if it were decorated with tinsels.

It does a bit. The tail looks a bit funny but the rest of it is nicely done.

@judyev This kind of inventiveness and skill brings happiness to what otherwise might be a drab scene.

That's true. The one's on the pier and represents the hundreds/thousands of children who were sent to Australia during war years.

This is very creative, and very well made too! It definitely looks like a puppy, 100% would pet but I bet all that iron would scorch my skin. Okay, then I won't pet.

Best not to pet it, especially not on a hot day.

@JudyEv Really, in that case it makes more sense to fry an egg on it. If one doesn't care about hygiene, of course.

It's possibly cemented in although I didn't notice. Otherwise it will probably disappear one day.
