The word prompt from Jenn at Traveling At Wits End: Balance
I try to go to a wonderful outdoor art exhibition held on the cliff edge and parks on Sydney’s southern beaches called Sculptures By The Sea. Here are some great sculptures I photographed over the years that have good balance
And one that didn’t have good balance
They are good, but the mattresses, funny

Whoa, the mattresses one reminds me of a children’s tale of the princess and the pea. She felt the pea despite her servants placing many mattresses on top of another. This photo speaks a more darker tale to me about how the people serving her felt crushed by the weight of this problem…
Cool collection of photos! I really enjoyed it!

Hey, would you mind if I used your photo for a dystopian fast fiction writing prompt I wanted to experiment with? I want to explore this tale a bit more. 🙂

Turkey is on the list. I stay in the burbs away from the tourist areas. A lot cheaper and immersed in their culture
