ReplyDeletei like that pic Jayne...they look like beasts guarding their eggs...
ReplyDelete(or maybe i should sleep...)
tee hee ;)
...or wasps ready to attack!
ReplyDeleteApparently the egg shapes will end up looking like soccer balls.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, from a certain angle, the egg shapes remind me of buttocks....maybe I need sleep. Or something else....
ReplyDeleteSoccer balls makes sense, db, since it's going to be a stadium for soccer and rugby. I really like the design.
Buttocks? maybe. The idea behind (no pun intended) the design is so that there is an uninterupted view of the playing surface from the seating areas.
ReplyDeleteJayne, love watching the progress of my beloved Storms new ground!
