Another Place

 Silently they stand. No eyes, unblinking. Crusty iron skin flaking. Unyielding, immovable. 
 


 Reflected in both the sea and the sky. Standing tall.
 As the tide retreated, more appeared.
A giant of a wooden day mark 
New towers and old. 
I walked near this huge edifice - intimidated by it's gigantic scale. 


Our last outing of our holiday. Antony Gormley's 'Another Place' Strange, intriguing, magical. We visited nearly all of the 100 figures. Each man standing nearly 6 foot tall and weighing 650 kg. Some stood tall and other semi-submerged in the icy blue sea.

  2. Love the effect of a reflection you have in pix two and three. Looks like one photograph.even though they don't actually fit together. A sort of optical illusion. xx
