The working man

In Dalton Street, in the centre of Barrow in Furness, there stands an evocative sculpture honouring the town's background in heavy industry, and particularly in ship building. The style of the sculpture, massive and rough in texture, seems to fit its subject particularly well. And monochrome seems, again, to be an appropriate photographic treatment.

You may see some of the sculpture's other figures featuring as blips in weeks to come.

I apologise for the almost total absence of comments on others' work. Looking at your pictures, I continue to be struck by your skill, ingenuity and humanity.
