An Installation in Bunbury, Western Australia

I don’t think I’ve written about the installations in the photo before. I hope not. They’re in Bunbury and I couldn’t help taking a photo of the pelican with its nest behind it. I’m guessing it’s the nest but I couldn’t find any real evidence about what sort of nests pelicans make. Pelicans are quite plentiful in the Bunbury area. This is a bit short for me but we’re going to the movies tonight and seeing a Michael Caine film called Is Anybody There? It’s about someone with early dementia so it might be hitting a bit close to home. I really enjoy watching Michael Caine. He’s a great actor. I read his autobiography which was really enjoyable too.

This installation in the photo is cute. I am pretty sure that it's the nest of the Pelican. I also like a lot Michael Caine and I understand very well what he says.

We didn't watch his film last night. The cover said Is Anybody There but the disc inside was About A Boy so we watched that. We'll see the other one at some stage.

I like this kind of sculpture, they last a long time. Michael Caine is excellent. My favourite film is The Man who would be King. He has also popped in cameos. In The Meaning of Life, he is fighting Zulus, in a blink and you'll miss him. Much harder to spot, after being in the film Battle of Britain, his voice crops up in Dunkirk, leading a flight of Spitfires.

I haven't seen any of these but I've seen him in some other films. His autobiograpny is very interesting.

@Ronrybs Yes but a long time ago. I was trying to find the name of one of his but couldn't remember the name. It was Going In Style. In looking for it, I discovered he's made over 130 films. That's a lot of movies.

@JudyEv Not read his book. Have you seen The Eagle has Landed?

I hope you have/had a great time at the film. I love the sculpture! (Photos show the actual nests made of branches, so a little less “traditional nest-looking” than that sculpture…but who cares, it’s great!)

@JudyEv — Hugh Grant doesn’t look anything like Michael Caine, though.

The wrong DVD was in the right cover so we watched About A Boy instead. We'll see the other one another time.

I like that a lot, Back in the countryside in Latvia you can see real bird nests on top of poles like that and sometimes several all in a row, Enjoy the movie,

Unfortunately there was a mix-up with the DVDs so we didn't see that film but another one.

I like the picture. It was very well done. I try not to see movies or TV shows about dementia in any form. It just brings back memories of my late mother and the nightmare we all went through for 8 1/2 years.

I can understand you avoiding such films. I'm sure I would too if I'd been affected in that way.

I thought it is a way to call the birds... lol! But that's very artistic. That is something I do not want to have when I get old. Are you having one? Why did you say "it closed to home"? I hope not. And I am praying not in Jesus name, Amen.

Being in a retirement village and the age we are, there are some here with early dementia and we all wonder when/if we will be stuck down with it. That's why I wrote 'close to home'.

Stop it, you will look like America if keep building things like that. I hope you enjoyed the movie.

We ended up seeing About A Boy through a bit of a mix-up. We'll watch the other one another time. I've just learnt about an Arc de Trump? Always something new in the US.

Quite creative though looks simple to create. Hope you enjoyed the movie. Dementia and Alzheimer are always a worry as we get older.

It's a bit of a downside living in a retirement village. There is always someone with an illness or going off to hospital or whatever.

Unfortunately once we opened the DVD we found About A Boy. Somehow the wrong DVD was in the cover so we watched that instead. Maybe next week we'll watch the Michael Caine one.

I like your photo. I think it is indeed a nest. I also like Michael Caine. He is an excellent actor. I didn't know he did an autobiography so now I'm going to check it out.

The one I read is What's It All About. He's written a couple of non-fiction books and one fiction.

Whoever got the idea of the Pelican and it's nest there, I praise it. That's a work of art. Anyway, enjoy the movie.
