Part of one of the largest sculptures installed in the UK, the Seafarer’s Sculpture has been created by artist Michael Dan Archer. It consists of a forest of granite columns running across a large earthwork by the sea in the Port Marine development in Portishead near Bristol.
The 108 granite columns vary in height from 1m to 3m and are arranged in serpentine aisles which the spectator can walk through to the crest of the mound where a stone has been set to sit on and contemplate the sea. From land or sea, the view reveals that the columns form the profile of a wave.
The sculpture was designed to evoke the atmosphere of the sea and to relate to historical and contemporary seafaring. It also indicates Archer’s preoccupation with enigmatic architectural form of ancient cultures.
Flowerpot Island is an island in Georgian Bay, in the Canadian province of Ontario, and is a part of Fathom Five National Marine Park.

"With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me.
Whatever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going..." Tool: Lateralus

But she was only just beginning on this road. As she begins to sense her own inner depth, she becomes aware there is much to discover, much to receive. And so she learns ‘to hearken’. She uses a German word that captures something of the profound awareness that this listening implies: ‘hineinhorchen’. ‘… it seems to me’ she writes, ‘that this word is untranslatable. Hearkening to myself, to others, to the world.’ And in her listening she is searching. ‘I listen very intently, with my whole being, and try to fathom the meaning of things.’ ‘To fathom.’ The word suggests great depths, even a deep darkness of not knowing. ‘I keep looking for something,’ she writes, ‘but don’t know what …

Written this morning to a friend…
Not to go deep on you…but it is interesting that you latched onto the word “hineinhorchen,” because that to me is where Etty and me found the great mystery “the face of God” within us.

Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific,
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific,
Loftily poised in the ether capacious,
Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous!
When torrid Phoebus removeth his presence,
Ceasing to lamp us with fierce incandescense,
Then you illumine the regions supernal,
Scintillate, scintillate semper nocturnal.
The traveller on lustreless perigrination,
Gratefully hails your minute coruscation,
He could not determine his journey’s direction,
But for your bright scintillitating protection
Quite a squall at the forty-foot this morning, most of the swimmers swam off the more sheltered pier... except for this chap who hesitated for a bit before plunging in... and his mate who was already lost somewhere in the tempest.The sun even flickered over the scene for a while. They emerged at some stage quite pale looking , an otherworldly look on their faces! We all had to run for cover then, waves suddenly swilling over the rocks...
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell

Possibly the most #eastcoast photo I've ever taken! Mussel shells and lobster boats in Three Fathom Harbour last night.
More to come soon, I hope. I've been shooting a bit, but haven't had much time to edit.
Hope all of you are well!
