Sticks

Posted on November 27, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Lukewarm reaction  to Bumpkin Highway sculpture yesterday, but how about this one in Forrest Place? This one is actually pretty crap. Inside the sticks though there was a machine you could blow giant smoke rings with. More interesting. Thanks to … Continue reading →
