Dysartian
Dysart Sea-beams at Sunset
The public art of the Dysart Sea-Beams, consists of 30 foot high oak-pillars in various shades of blue, which are meant to match the colours of the sky throughout the year above Dysart beach. Fife Council gave out cameras to local residents, so that they could record the shades of the sky throughout the year. These shades of blue (and grey) were used to paint the pillars, which are symbolic of the masts of the clippers (sailing-ships) which used to carry coal and salt from Dysart Harbour to Holland and Scandinavia. As you can see, the Sea-Beams with Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags silhouetted in the background, are a favourite perch of our local seagulls. They look particularly nice, when outlined against a beautiful November sunset.
