Winter Solstice Walk

Daughter and I have just walked 3-odd Kilometres along the Another Place beach and it was beautiful. The only negative thing was that my ice cream kept getting blown inland 

At some point we were the only people amongst the statues which I think is the main point of the real meaning of the whole installation though the fun that is to be had with the individual Iron men is also quite a large part of the whole thing. They sink into the sand, they rise up out of the sand as the whole beach shifts. The statues have already shown that the whole beach is always moving in a gradual migration of tons of sand. There are painted statues, dressed statues and statues used as props in Nativity Plays. There is also a photography competition based around the statues. Daughter is determined to beat me.
