Restrained no more, Freedom is Beckoning. But I implore, in my reckoning. What is this Freedom? The sea is Polluted, the sky is dark, the Earth has been looted, by Man's greedy mark. What is Freedom?
Thankyou for your kind comments, always appreciated. ;-) This is part of the permanant "Gormley Statues" exhibition. On a beach near Liverpool. I was lucky enough to be taken there by some wedding guests of a friend of mine. Who's wedding I shot, the previous day in Knowsley, nr Liverpool. Was a very cold day, so could not keep my escorts waiting too long in the cold. But I'd love to return there one day, as it's a photographer's dream. I think there are around 120 or was it 200, statues in total, spread over a few miles along the beach. Some are partly buried in the sand and some are partly submerged in the sea, with the waves breaking over the top of them. I heard that when they were first installed, the Coastguard was called on numerous occasions. As people thought that they were real people drowning, or committing suicide. Google it for more info, it's wicked!
