Strawhenge – architectural oddities section


I have been longing to share this with you, but difficulties with the photos and blogging programs on our updated revamped Oz computer prevented me bringing you this beautiful construction which brought us to a screaming halt on the Midlands Highway in the Epping Forrest area of northern Tasmania three weeks or so back. We immediatley knew the maker had a sense of fun, and was, like ourselves and most others, intrigued by Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plains UK. We were fortunate to be able to visit there a few years back, and experienced a little of the same thrill when confronted with this contemporary construction. In the local newspaper a few days later, a photo like this one and a bit of a write up referred to other interesting constructions from hay bales in years past. It seems this has become a local tradition, a temporary landmark which appears and is on display for a few weeks at the end of each hay season. Now that I look again, it bears some connection with the holiday house with mock acqueduct surrounds that I published back in january. Posted by Picasa
