seaside_summertime

When i was a kid we used to walk here. My uncle used to swim here. Apparently my great great grandfather died here. Between the ages of 14 and 16 we used to have beach parties here, drink cheap wine and smoke here. I find peace here.

metal_men

The artist Antony Gormley set up 100 life sized metal men along 1km of crosby beach (near where i grew up). I have visited it a few times over the last year or so. They are due to be taken down in November and sold to a beach owner in America. They might be appearing on a beach near you soon. They give such an atmosphere. I have tried to capture the mood with tilt shift :)
