What an extraordinary sculpture! Great capture, Betty!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. I have to google for Kowhai and found that it is a kind of yellow flower. Thank you for hosting and have wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteThis sculpture is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe Sophora (Kowhai) plant also exists in Romania, but I read that in New Zealand it is considered a national flower.
Have a nice day!
A lovely sculpture. I learned a new (to me) word today - kowhai. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteWhy don't you have share buttons? At least for Facebook. It's nice to see as many people as possible the beauties you post.
I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
Eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betty.
That is beautiful. It makes me think of an acorn.
ReplyDeleteBetty this is so beautiful! It kind of reminds me of acorns (which I only see on pictures and on cartoons) but this one looks a lot more interesting with its elongated shape! Thank you so much Betty for hosting and please have a great week ahead!

Interesting sculpture. Looks like it is in the middle of a traffic circle. I really don't link them because many drivers don't watch for others entering, changing lanes and exiting. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThe golden Kōwhai flower comes from New Zealand. Many people consider it the national flower of the country. Kōwhai is also the Māori word for yellow. In 2014, the gold of Paul Dibble's Kowhai sculpture was unveiled. The 13-foot piece of art is made of bronze and gold-plated with 24 carat gold.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Eva
A work of art that I like very much.

ReplyDeleteEine wunderschöne Skulptur, liebe Betty.
