Discussion around March 2026's Theme: Metal, Metallic (page 3 of 7)

In honor of our Australian winner, whether Bronze or Steel, metal reigns on Adelaide’s Rundle Mall.

Metal: the music At the Hellfest site in Clisson (44) One of Europe’s biggest festivals

Tough theme, wink. Not sure I have much in stock.

Not that hard after all!

Yeah, in the end 😉

Still in New York:

The Copper Lady,

The bronze Wall Street bull,



The steel Brooklyn Bridge, The subway,

At the Long Island amusement park,

Hey there,

Friends of your American elephant ;)

The French Lady too

Hey there,

Ah, that’s not too far from my place.¾

Hi Bruno,

Exactly, Chambéry! A great cheese restocking stop before crossing the Fréjus 😎.

In Italy, you’ll also find metallic fountains—slightly more graceful, though. Gotta say, these are from the 16th century, not the 19th.

Near Leonora, a small mining town in the Goldfields of Western Australia, a ghost miners' camp gives you a glimpse of the harsh living conditions of the first gold prospectors and their families. Corrugated iron was a big improvement over canvas tents... maybe less so in summer.





The chapel







The last families left in the late 1950s.

To contrast with corrugated sheets, I suggest a little tour of Place Stanislas in Nancy, my hometown. Wrought iron and gold for the gates, and as for the sculptures, I assume they're made of bronze. Now that’s some metals...

I’m sticking with the same metal but switching animals and countries:

Touching his toe is said to bring good luck...
