The exterior constructed of black wrought-iron, and laser-cut-outs perhaps, between layers of vellum-like material, depicting a spectacular fairy-tale garden.
You maybe can just make out the swarovski crystal chips embedded. Very glitzy, and very eye-catching, the whole wonderful structure. The shadow ... it's Santa sitting on the other side!
Shame I wasn't able to get Santa in the photo; this was a pay to have your photo taken with Santa venue, and I don't think they would've appreciated me poking my camera in there too.
Sharing with Life According to Jan and Jer for:
This is beautiful and so elegant! Santa, here, usually has something rustic - I like this crystal laden cage much better!
ReplyDeleteWell done on these shots, they are so elegant. I love the crystals on the cage.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely what they have done with the Queen Victoria Building?
ReplyDeleteYes, Lake Burrambeet id directly opposite the Ballarat Botanical Gardens. I was there when it was dry as well, I have also been there when there was so much water, there were great puddles on the lawns with swans and their small cygnets swimming in the puddles.
Definitely very glitzy Carole - it has a very Parisian feel to it!
ReplyDeletejust gorgeous. what a great design. (:
ReplyDeletevery ornate, and yes, different for friday's fences!
ReplyDeleteI would have never guesses that Santa was sitting in this enclosure with such exquisite lasercut work!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning design...Lucky Santa!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pattern...
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen a Santa in such elegant surroundings!
ReplyDeleteI would say this definitely qualifies as a fence....one drop dead gorgeous one. It is beautiful and your pictures are wonderful. I bet it was a real treat to look at all of that intricate design work. It really is amazing. I love your photos. They are lovely. genie
ReplyDeleteGoodness, isn't that elaborate! I bet the North Pole isn't nearly as lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty Carole! Love the crystals...lmust be quite a sight in person!
ReplyDeleteJan
What a beautiful fence, looks like Santa has a gorgeous house.
ReplyDeleteWhat elegance! At first glance, it reminded me of a beautifully embellished ball gown, Carole! I wish I had some of your photographic opportunities.
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of fence I like to peek ^)^ I hope Santa is busy and not sleeping and tired hehe.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful thing to see Carole..
ReplyDeleteSo ornate and something I wouldn't have expected to see in Sydney.
Just shows how little I know about your wonderful country..
Keep me informed xx
What a beautiful fence to enclose Santa! Maybe you could have captured him by himself, or maybe they would have been upset about your taking photos without paying. The whole set-up is so much more elegant than the Santa's House here...
ReplyDeleteWow, that is very beautiful Carole!
ReplyDeleteDon't you want to try this design for your papercutting Carole? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I "see" Santa enclosed in such a beautiful fence. I think you can call this a fence or maybe a cage..... Anyway it's truly beautiful.
