Couple

With the threat of the electricity being turned off for the day for maintenance work, we left home. We went in search of the sun and found it on the north east coast.

We explored places north of Newcastle, where several blippers live, but I don’t think I saw any of them. And ended up at Newbiggin by the Sea. This is a sculpture by artist Sean Henry placed here in 2007. It is apparently the UK’s first permanent offshore sculpture.

In the artist’s words:

The two figures look out – as we all often do when at the coast – at the ever-changing seascape. They mark man’s presence at the edge of land and beyond it.

We returned to find the electricity had not been turned off after all!
