MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

What can you tell me about this?

[Cathy]

Is it a rice paddy field?

[Stanley]

Sorry Cathy but no.

[Stanley]

No offers?

[Gloria]

Is it cress?

[Tizer]

Creating some patches of dry land in the paddy fields on which to grow opium poppies?

[Stanley]

Sorry but nobody has go it yet. Clue, they are using boats to cultivate them.....

[Tizer]

Are the plants growing on rafts?

[Cathy]

Are they growing Asian Lettuce?

[Stanley]

I don't know what they are growing Cathy but Peter is close enough to the answer. See THIS Wikipedia explanation. They are Chinampa, floating gardens.
Next one?

[Stanley]

What and where is it?

[plaques]

Oh, just noticed the handbag.

[Cathy]

Me thinks this will be interesting

[Tizer]

A philosophical interpretation of the relationship between a woman and her handbag? Or a case of `I'm sure my knickers are in here somewhere!'

[Stanley]

The first bit's right Peter. Now, where is it?

[Stanley]

I found another aspect of the sculpture and I think you can see that the lady was wearing knickers. I thought I had to defend her!

[Gloria]

No idea about it, but it’s good isn’t it?

[Stanley]

I like it and from what I can gather it has been copied but it should be quite easy to identify where this one is....

[plaques]

My Sherlock Holmes observation powers had already sussed that one out. No idea where it it is but you have my permission to leave it on a while.

[Big Kev]

Italy?

[PanBiker]

On an image search all the references are Polish which I think is where the sculpture originated however, one site has this:

Initially, the sculpture was made specifically for the street exhibition “Thoughts. Space". Now, any tourist who has visited the province of Cuneo in Piedmont (Italy) can be photographed with this exhibit. It is there that she now lives.

[Tizer]

Panbiker got to the bottom of it. Here's more: The most famous monument to a women's handbag is in Italy, Piemonte in the province of Cuneo. This remarkable work in the form of a sculpture of a woman's handbag was presented by Spain in 2013 at the seventh biennial of park sculpture Parco del Castello Reale. Remember yourself how often you poured out the contents of your purse to find the lost keys, or how long you searched for a phone in it. Common situation? And yet this is exactly what became the basis of the monument to a woman's handbag. Men often make fun of us and our bags. `Monument to a woman's handbag' LINK

[Stanley]

Dead Right, Cuneo....
Next one?

[Stanley]

What and where?

[Cathy]

I know , but I cheated, so will keep quiet.
Beautiful mustangs.
