Antony Gormley statue contemplating life......

#igersmersey evening at Crosby, I’m less than useless at portrait togging so thought I’d stick with something I’m slightly better at!
Crosby, near that there Liverpool.
View Large On Black Here for best effect A days shooting around the coast at Crosby today,one of the last of the day at sunset incorporating Gormley's 'another place' figures,using the last bit of the sunset. Lucky break in the cloud cover for this one, saw it coming, just hoped it would last out long enough to get this.
Didn’t even know this pipe thingy thing was here until Sunday
Sunset at Crosby with my mate
another high tide
"Another Place" is an art installation by Antony Gormley. 100 spectacular cast-iron, life-size figures spread across three kilometres of the foreshore at Crosby Beach and stretch almost one kilometre out to sea.
The figures – each one weighing 650 kilos – are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.
