Territorian Noeleen Foster couldn’t believe her eyes when she looked up at the sky.

Hovering majestically overhead was a fine example of one of nature’s most glorious sights - a sky penis.

This is believed to be the first confirmed sighting of a sky penis in the Northern Territory, and is one of the best captured since Debyshire wildlife photographer “Villager Jim” took his famous photo in July 2014.

“Even Mother Nature has a sense of humour,” said Ms Foster, who snapped the cloud cock when she spotted it above the suburb of Zuccoli.

“I love the clouds, and if you saw it wouldn’t you take a snapshot?”

Yes Ms Foster, we certainly would.

It’s been a big week for things shaped like a penis in the Territory.

Following close on the heels of the sky penis sighting, a Darwin woman was surprised to see a suspiciously familiar shape decorating the top of her coffee at a local coffee shop.

The woman, who did not wish to be identified, claims she did not ask for the foamy phallus artwork but appreciated the effort that went into it.

The work appears to be a Territory addition to the proud modern tradition of ”Impermanent Art” - art created using perishable materials, often designed to decay or degrade quickly.

Examples include Chocolate Lion by German sculptor Dieter Roth (made of chocolate) and Small Sunset by the same artist (sausage on blue and white paper in plastic sleeve).

Impermanent art also finds expression in the Buddhist practice of creating sand mandalas. Once completed they are ritually dismantled, reflecting the Buddhist belief in the transitory nature of material life.
