This week’s Monochrome Madness theme #12 is being hosted by PR from the blog Flights of the Soul and the theme she has chosen is Sculptures.
When I first saw that this was her theme, I thought, that is cool, then I wondered if I had any photos of Sculptures and if I would be able to find them.
Turns out I have photographed a lot of them. I still had trouble finding them, but managed to come up with some. There are still others that I wish I had been able to find. However, I don’t think it really matters and I think these all fit the brief. They are all from Melbourne.
One thing I realised when I was going through my galleries looking for photos was that buildings can be sculptural as well. I found a few from Melbourne that I thought could fit the brief too, I hope you agree.
It was a good theme to choose and one that really had me thinking.
I would like to thank PR for being our host this week and would invite you to go and see her post on her blog, Flights of the Soul. Don’t forget to send your pingbacks to her.

Love the opening photo, a little bit disturbing but also stimulating…well done.
Thank you Robert, that is from a sculpture park that is full of sculptures about indigenous people.
And here’s mine at last! https://margaret21.com/2024/07/13/statuary-for-small-people-to-enjoy/
That’s great Margaret, I will take a look soon. Busy day ahead.
I hope you had a good busy day.
It has been busy, but a good busy Margaret, thank you.
These are great, I like how you used light and contrast as you took these, or edited these
Thank you Ritva, probably more the editing.
I am guessing – were the 5th and 6th phot from the Heide museum? And the 7the from the Dandenong ranges?
You are absolutely right Teresa and the first few were mostly taken around the State Library. Thank you.
A great collection Leanne! I especially like your header image, both as a photo and for the sculpture itself which looks fascinating.
Thank you Sarah. The header image is part of a park or sculpture garden and there are heaps of similar ones there.
I like your collection. Particularly the corrugated cow – if that was it is. It looks most interesting. I always find sculptures difficult to photograph as they often have intruding backgrounds.
I decided to show sculptures exclusively from my hometown: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2024/07/10/sculptures-in-weinheim/
Thank you Elke. Yeah they are meant to be like cows grazing. That is very true, though these cows were designed for that background, so I think it works well. Thank you.
You’ve tackled a difficult theme so well. I love your header photo.
Thank you Margaret, it was a difficult one for me.
Lovely collection, Leanne 😀. I am
curious about the one with many heads..is it a commentary on something or just a quirky sculpture? And you are right about the architecture that feels like sculpture sometimes!
Thank you PR.
It is part of a park where they have lots of sculptures. I don’t know if it is significant. It is faces of indigenous people or children. Look up William Ricketts sanctuary I think it is called.
I am glad you agree about the architecture.
Oooh –
Thanks Beth.
A wonderful gallery, Leanne!
Thank you Sandy.
My pleasure.
