Although not derelict, sculptor Anthony Gormley has installed this series of 100 full size figures along the one mile stretch of Crosby Beach. Since their installation some years ago, they've been colonised by sea creatures and added to by the general public! A beautiful, eerie display, especially as the tide recedes and heads pop out of the waves! Well worth visiting at both ends of the day, as the sun casts long shadows.
Such an eye-catching installation and beautifully photographed.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Gorgeous snaps Bill. The figures remind me of the Angel of the North with its arms down by its side. They have to be some of the best public art in Britain.
