Another Place, Crosby Beach, Liverpool, 26th August 2009

Crosby Beach, Liverpool, is a magical place.
There are 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometers of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea.
I left two wish bracelets on statues 88 and 91,  I don't suppose they will withstand the weather and the sea conditions for too long but I made my wishes and if they are found by other visitors, the wishes will pass on to them .........

Hi,

I hope you don't mind but I used your photo to ilustrate a short story I wrote. Let me know if you dont want me to use your photo and I'll remove it from my blog.
By the way, your craft work is fabulous. =)

If you like the pictures can I recommend that you do a Google Image Search, and type Another Place, Antony Gormly or Crosby Beach, Liverpool & you will be amazed by the beauty of the place.

Wow - this looks amazing. We used to go to Crosby when I was at uni in Liverpool and since we're popping back for a visit in October, we'll definitely have to go here. We to see Field for the British Isles recently and loved that too.
