This was the scene at Crosby Beach today. Crosby beach is directly opposite the beach at "Glorious" New Brighton across the mouth of the Mersey.
The Statue you can see in the foreground is part of "Another Place" by Antony Gormley. It consists of 100 life-sized cast-iron statues of a naked man spread over 2 miles of beach. All the men are staring out to sea.The statue is wearing a hard-hat because people regularly come and dress them, or give them hair styles made of wet sand. They have been used in crowd scenes in Nativity plays at Christmas and generally embraced by the local community. The other man in the image is a fisherman - a living human being - but still just staring out to sea.

Wonder what he is using for bait, Caruso? I'm talking about the fisherman.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Two very patient men :) Very interesting to hear about the statues. Thanks for the link Steve. 100 of them at 650 kg each! That is 65 tons - not easy to transport.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
What a strange, and unique idea this is Mr. B. A very good take, with a good perspective. Tigs♥ =^..^=

With all my love and respect, Marzena
That is great - getting them both in the shot looking the same way. I am glad the statues have a permanent home, even though they appear to be dreaming and thinking of somewhere else far away.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Did you?...lol
One to make you think eh!
