Silhouettes (Explored 12-07-2017)

Silhouettes

On the beach at Cleveleys, Lancashire, UK.

 

The sculpture is known as ‘Mary’s Shell’ by Stephen Broadbent, based on an idea from the story ‘The Sea Swallow’, a children’s story provided by the children and adults from the local area. The story is about a fisherman’s daughter called Mary who was forced to save her town from the dangers of the sea by using a golden shell.

 

Stephen said: “This isn’t artwork for a gallery, it is for people to climb on, touch and enjoy”. Here is a picture of five children who have been doing just that. I found this shot more interesting than the children climbing on the Shell.
