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.

Oh how I love your wonderful photographs (I am beginning to run out of superlatives!). I must visit that place too, when I have time!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, so real!
ReplyDeleteLove 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
ReplyDeleteThat is impressive...my first thought was what is that person doing standing in the water and then scrolling down I saw there were more !!! Brilliant photos and a remarkable idea! Very mystical!!!
ReplyDeletekeep well
