Iron Men

We went to Crosby Beach on Sunday evening to look at the 'Another Place' display by Antony Gormley. It is made up of 100 cast iron men, each weighing 650 kg, and cast from the artists' own body.

The sight is magnificent - they cover a stretch of the beach 3km long and 1km deep - as the tide comes in they gradually become submerged.

They are thought to represent the Immigrant polulation but could so easily be interpreted on many other current themes....

Definately something everyone should go and see if they're ever in this area.
