 This is a sculpture in a park near the city. It consists of two matches (one burnt). It has been up for many years and I thought I may be able to get an interesting perspective of it with the Centrepoint Tower.

Talk about bad timing as I pulled up I saw the workman just finishing the wrapping and packing their truck. Had I gone early this morning or yesterday I would have got the shot I wanted....oh well.

It seems the cockatoos have been eating away at the burnt match and slowly destroying it, so it has had the wrap put on until a protection plan has been put in place.

Most unusual. Have no idea what it is, but interesting nonetheless. Good luck in the challenge.
