The tide comes in at Murvagh Beach (the Backstrands). Near Donegal Town, Ireland, on a lovely warm later summer's afternoon.
This big bloke was pretty pleased with himself after catching this nice little wave at the mouth of the Mooloolah River this afternoon.

After a national search, the Public Art Virginia Beach Foundation, along with professionals from Virginia MOCA and the Chrysler Museum of Art, selected Jeff Laramore’s piece entitled “Wave,” a 35-foot stainless steel sculpture, to grace the entry to the Laskin Gateway. It rests in a 35-foot wide reflecting pool inside the Laskin Road Roundabout.
"Wave" has an open design that will allow high winds to pass through reducing resistance. To ensure longevity, the sculpture was fabricated out of a combination of marine grade stainless steel plates and stainless steel cables. And, the sculpture will be enhanced with a colorful display of programmed lighting for visibility in the evening.
The new sculpture was dedicated on Oct. 12, 2013 and provides a strong and beautiful sense of arrival to a very special destination.
Founded in 2012, the first initiative of the Foundation has been to raise funds to commission this piece for the new Gateway to Laskin Road and its continuing goal is to showcase Virginia Beach as a welcoming and creative city that takes great pride in its public spaces.
Watching all the pieces come together was an amazing process. If you get a chance take a walk around the Wave and see all the angles at night. It's simply stunning.
