SHRINE TIME

DSCN2487

Having watched the film ' The fastest Indian' about real life Burt Munro played by Anthony Hopkins, I saw that Munro had a collection of broken pistons as offerings to the god of speed. This prompted me to make my own shrine to the god of flight.
 

"New Zealander Burt Munro spent years perfecting his classic Indian motorcycle. The year is 1967, and Burt takes his machine to Utah's salt flats, where he attempts the impossible, using his dream bike to set a new world's record for speed. Based on a true story, the record Munro set more than three decades ago still has not been broken to this day."
