Little House in the Harbour by fbailey

Little House in the Harbour

Another of Richard Woods' exhibits for the Folkestone Triennial celebration. It would look more impressive floating amongst the other craft but the tide was low this evening. It still presents a somewhat surprising sight:)
The message, or art is even more lost on me with this one, but it is a quirky shot. Quite a conversation piece. I do like the cute houses, probably for all the wrong reasons though!

It does look rather out of place, it would be interesting to see it floating on the water :)
August 21st, 2017  
Certainly an unexpected sight.

Mmm I do wonder about some things created in the name of art! I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc....
Definitely a surprising sight!

Unusual art. I agree with Carole.

So random!! Is it all to scale in this photo? I sort of find it intriguing,,,,

It is a very random sight. Not what you would expect to see in the harbour.

I think that's fascinating as is, would love to see it floating too. Great art initiative.

Again, interesting placement!

Bizarrely for some reason I don't find this one quite as out of place as the yellow one seemed to be. Of course it would be a totally different sight when it''s not low tide and the house is floating.

@suzanne234 @hermann @randystreat @carole_sandford @gijsje @robz @littleconnie @littleconnie @golftragic @jclaireyp @salza Thanks very much for your reactions to this artwork, I find the variety of reactions intriguing. It's definitely random but it's quirky and colourful and I must confess they are growing on me. They are not to scale and about one third of the size of an actual average house. This one caused a bit of a stir when it broke it's moorings and had to be rescued from drifting out to sea ... I think there are six in total dotted around the town, all in bright colours. Four more photo opportunities!!

Maybe this one sits better in the mind as it's a 'houseboat'......

@salza 😊

Great shot...Fav

It looks quite forlorn sitting in the mud with the grounded boats :)
August 22nd, 2017  
Great shot, I recognise that harbour!
August 22nd, 2017  
Fascinating pink place...
August 22nd, 2017  
That is surprising!

Hi, incongruous to see a pink and pretty little house in the oozy mud of low tide. Not taking many photos here and no way to download, so avalanche to come . . .

@tonygig @merrelyn @robinm @ivan @peadar Thanks for commenting, it's different at least from my normal offerings!
August 23rd, 2017  
@redandwhite Thanks Catherine, yes, it definitely stands out! Hope all's as well as it can be, looking forward to the avalanche!!
August 23rd, 2017  
Surprising and unexpected. That really would draw the attention!

@dkbarnett Thank you! There are another five brightly coloured little homes dotted around the area so a few more photo opportunities!
