Cromer Prospect

 

I'd walked across this design, set in the forecourt of Cromer pier, several times before realising that it didn't simply portray the sun, with a few random rays shining out.

 

No, instead, it's... "A permanent installation on the Cromer Seafront promenade to celebrate Cromer’s lifeboats. Twenty-four up-lit granite 'standing stones' are positioned in an arc looking out to sea and pointing in the direction of a rescue by a named boat. These are surrounded by flint pebble walls up-lit with brush strokes of soft, coloured light."

 

For a better account, with details of those rescues, see:
