Walk along Mike Turtur Bikeway - 2014 July 27

We took our dog for a walk along the Mike Turtur Bikeway from Glenelg to where it hits Cross Road.  A very enjoyable walk that traverses along the tramway and along the way there are some very cool "action-inspired sculptural figures" by Greg Healey & Gregg Mitchell (according to the council info).

Here are some of the sculptures that we found along the way.

Starting off at Glenelg near Brighton Road we came across this Giraffe.

 

Along the way, there were "people" made of "bike chain". Very cleverly done.

On the footpath you can see horseshoes marks from "horses running past"
out the front of the Morphettville Race Course.  A nice touch, I think

Green showing its stretching style too

Can the real dog please sit?

Letting the sculptures take our Foxhound, Murphy for a short walk

Back at the Brighton Road end they have put up this public bike work station.

Complete with pump, stand and work tools.  Great idea.

The bikeway goes all the way from Glenelg to Adelaide.

Worth a walk or ride.

 



Grange Beach - 2013-12-31

Took our Foxhound "Murphy" for her walk on the beach from Grange Jetty down towards Fort Glanville at Semaphore Park.  Thought I'd try put the "panoramic" function on the camera.  This is 8am in the morning so I could walk her before it go too hot (38-40degC).

It's a nice beach to take the hound for a walk.

The first two kind of worked, the last not quite.

 1 1/2 hours later the space under the jetty was packed with people who had come down to the beach

Just as I took this Murphy heard a dog to her left and turned

This one didn't quite work
