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. =)

    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.

    These pictures are amazing. What a fantastic sculpture and what a lovely idea. I'd never heard of wish bracelets. :)

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
