Alternate Reality @ Five Fathoms Deep
View allAll Photos Tagged fathom
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.

"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
On the 7th level, Quincy Mine, Houghton County, Michigan, USA
Quincy has more than 90 levels, but is full of water below the 7th level. An adit (tunnel) on the 7th level drains from there. A level is 10 fathoms.
Clinging to the granite cliffs on West Cornwall's north coast at Botallack, near St Just, are these two engine houses of the Crown Mines.
The whole area of this stretch of coast has historic remains of the county's once thriving mining industry – it forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and with the South West Coast Path passing along the clifftops.
It's not easy trying to convey the scale of the landscape but when I look at this place, I'm in awe of those who not only built these structures in such precarious locations, but those who clambered down to work their shifts deep under the Atlantic Ocean.
Botallack was a submarine mine with the engine-shaft 220 fathoms (1,320 ft; 400 m) deep, driven through solid granite.
It has been reckoned that over the recorded lifetime of the mine, it produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper, and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic.
The iconic engine houses of West Cornwall's mining heritage are a familiar site, and many, just like these at Botallack, are in the care of the National Trust.
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
[The Tempest ].
Il aurait du appeler son client. Il se rappelle bien de ses derniers mots.
"Vous serez tenu de tenir", lui avait elle dit.
Si peu de liens s'étaient tissés avec cette histoire. Comme à son habitude il avait dit "Oui", sans réel enthousiasme. Ensuite il se dirigea instinctivement vers de premiers quais de gare, le destinant à sonder certainement l'insondable drame humain. Ce qu'il trouverait, il l'aurait indéniablement à le chercher ...
...
He should call his client. He remembers well his last words.
"You will be required to hold," he had said it.
If few links were forged with this story. As usual he had said "Yes", without any real enthusiasm. Then he went instinctively to the first station platforms, surely destined him to fathom the unfathomable human tragedy. What he found, he would definitely look ...

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.
- Ariel's Song, from The Tempest, by Shakespeare
