There have been a few shots of this place on 365 recently.
It is at Crosby in North West England and is called Another Place. It is an installation of 100 cast iron statues of the artist, Anthony Gormley.
Originally a temporary installation when completed in 2006, and due to be moved to New York, it has met with broad appeal and is still in place.
The statues all disappear beneath the waves at high tide. We arrived just as the tide started to go out, and walked along the beach for a couple of hours enjoying them appear as we walked.
I have quite a lot of photos from that day, which will appear in my albums over the next week or so. A colour close up of one of the statues faces is in one of my other albums today.
Thanks to @jocasta for the car parking tip on the day.
@miley89@dh@tracywilliams@jocasta Thank you all, and for the fav Tracy. They have inspired me to as well Jocasta, I think combining sunset with low or receding tide is my aim.
Lovely atmospheric shot Sean, I have one or two that I'm pleased with from there too.
Last day of the season....you going to the Tigers? I quite fancy our chances against Wasps today :)
It is become such an iconic image in a n relatively short time - and justifiably so - it is wonderful. And this capture certainly does it justice, Sean. Fav.
@bluefirebucket not today Mick, taking my youngest and little nephew to White Hart Lane. Good luck to Sale, look forward to hosting you at Welford Rd next year.
honestly, this (along with the story) creeps me out but I can't stop looking at it. I love the simplicity and the fact that these types of shots can only be taken when the statues are visible...which I'm sure not everyone sticks around to see- which shows your patience. Wonderful photo :)
How amazing..... must be fascinating to see the statues appear and disappear. He looks freakishly real, I thought at first it was some kind of naturalist! Fav. Sean
@seanoneill
Hope you all had a good day despite the result.
Sale managed a very easy , comfortable win! ;)
We'll make it a date for Welfrd Rd next season :)
I recognise these famous men & although I have never been up to them personally they are instantly recognisable .....they give me the creeps when half submerged...my nightmare being engulfed in water!! A brilliant low shot you have, it gives these statues great gravitas.
@brav I feel like I'm seriously missing out - with you two both going up there this week!! I am getting my map out now...
These shots are so simple but so atmospheric, the guy had great vision
@filsie65 Well, here's the thing Phil. I have passed through your area on the train 3 times in the last week and spotted copses on hills between Wellingborough and Luton that are so photogenic, and have me searching the map and google earth for them!!
@espyetta Hi MaryBeth, it is 100 statues, all the same, of the artist Anthony Gormley. I am aiming to post 100 pictures of them in the next few months. I have about 40 or so that are viable, so will be thinking about what other shots to do and returning. Thanks for all the great comments and Favs, very much appreciated.
