Looks Like A Pincer Movement

This huge crayfish/ lobster is a mammoth landmark in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong, on the facade of a seafood restaurant called Gardens, on the corner of Dandenong Road and Kidd Road. You just can't miss it. I'm guessing the crustacean is probably six or seven metres long and, because it is set on an angle, at least four metres high. I took this shot a couple of hours ago and although I had to stand close to an eight-lane highway to get the best view, I had to shoot it through a rash of overhead wires and support struts. Nothing fishy about that.
