Another Place

I spent some time in Crosby today and took time to check out  Anthony Gormley's Another Place . I have included a description of the work from the Sefton Council website in italics below.
Although the sun shone most of the time there was a mist hanging around all day which helped give a watercolour wash effect to the wind turbines in the background. The image includes a mix of the statues and people walking on the beach.

Another Place is an artwork by Antony Gormley. It is made up of 100 cast iron figures situated across an area of sandy beach over 3km long (approx 2 miles).
The Another Place figures - each weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body and are shown at different stages of rising out of the sand, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in ‘silent expectation.’
Antony Gormley says the installation is a poetic response to the individual and universal sentiments associated with emigration - sadness at leaving, but the hope of a new future in Another Place.
Since arriving in 2005, Another Place has attracted a huge amount of interest in the area with large numbers of people - including families and school parties - visiting the beach to see the statues. They have become known locally as ‘The Iron Men’ and sometimes ‘The Gormleys.’  The artwork has generated extensive coverage in both the press and broadcast media and has become a world-renowned work of public art.  Another Place was previously displayed in Cruxhaven in Germany, Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium.
