This unusual sculpture of a Whale is something I saw down an alleyway in Paihia recently. All I can think of is that it's something to do with the historical whaling history of this region, but on the wall behind it there are signs for a Swordfish Club so maybe that has something to do with it.

I was going to say there was a fish & chip shop nearby
Nice find, I like it. I wonder how many people know its location, I think it would be easy to miss.
Is the bike a sign for the bike shop?
Whichever it is, I like it.
The whale looks designed for kids to play on and to that end seems to be in a slightly grim and out of the way place.
Either way, it´s pretty "cool"!
there was probably no swordfish sculpture awailable :)
...that would be something common in Lahaina, Maui, the old whaling village. Thanks Amy for sharing, thake care and stay well.
Very cool. It appears the Swordfish is a bar with a great view.
Well that was an unusual discovery Amy 🐋
What a shame it is in an alleyway.
Hmmm. I'd expect a swordfish rather than a whale at the Swordfish!

I like sculptures all over cities.
Worth a Thousand Words
It looks nice. Should be some place else, more visible place. Nice find.
Such a shame that a sculpture as neat as this is placed in some nondescript location!
Glad you spotted it and now we all get to see it, Amy!
How interesting! It's hard to know why it's there but it's fun to guess! My guess it that it's lost :)
Your link is a great addition to 'My Corner of the World' this week!
