Sculpture Walk at Waiheke






















Did the sculpture walk on our last visit to the island, always a treat. This year there were 25 diverse works. It was Anniversary Day and very hot on the island. My friend Janet came with us and was good company. The views were stunning and the headland a great setting for the sculptures.
The evening before we went to the opening of the miniature sculptures exhibition in the gallery and also the Mike Morgan one. He was there and I had a word with him as I bought one of his paintings several years ago. The little 2 storey villa he painted was in Cowan St, just around the corner from us. It is called Solo mother with little house. He paints the same little houses, including ones like the 2 we had in Clarence St, 76 and 78 before we moved down the road to 95.
They had some nice Waiheke wine at the opening - Obsidian wines.There were a lot of people there so I didnt take any pictures of the small sculptures but we did go back a day or two later and look at them at leisure and savour them.
