LOL Houghy, how'd you know?
Here's a wider shot.
These are the only shots I took all night, I just had a relaxing time walking around and enjoying the beautiful evening.

It's some sort of a sculpture down at The Rocks, Leon.
I overheard someone say, 'I don't get this thing'
but I had a bit of a chuckle at the thought of a Ford Meteor being hit by a meteorite.

It hasn't hit the ground yet. By definition it's still a meteor?
