Anthony Gormley in Stavanger, in a hail storm

I have a few favourite artists, and one of them is Anthony Gormley. His sculptures are strong and many of them are based on his body. This sculpture is part of his site specific sculpture project 'Broken Column' (2003), with consists of 23 identical rusty steel sculptures mounted outdoors and indoors in public, semi-public and private places in Stavanger.
The 1.95-metre-tall sculptures are based on a cast of the artist’s own body. They relate to each other through their elevation above or below sea level and through the direction in which they face. The sculpture inside Stavanger Art Museum stands in its own white gallery room, at 41,41 metres above sea level. The sculpture here is at sea level and it is the penultimate sculpture. The final and 23rd sculpture stands with 149 of its 195 cm underwater, on a rock beyond Natvigs Minde in Stavanger's port basin.

We have also seen Gormley's 'Another Place' on the Mersey Estuary. The installation comprises 100 cast-iron life-size sculptures made from 17 different moulds taken from the sculptor’s own body which are installed on Crosby Beach on the Mersey Estuary. The 'iron men' all face the open sea, and evoke the relationship between the natural elements, space and the human body.

We have also seen Gormley’s 6 figures in Edinburgh, the first one can be be found opposite the main pedestrian entrance of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art on Belford Road. The next four standing figures can be found within the Water of Leith itself. The final figure is located at the end of an abandoned pier in Leith Docks, looking out to the point where the Water of Leith meets the Firth of Forth.

Another example of Gormley's work is 'The Angel of the North', a contemporary sculpture by the artist, which is located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. Completed in 1998, it is seen by an estimated 33 million people every year due to its proximity to the A1 and A167 roads and the East Coast Main Line. The design of the Angel, like many of Gormley's works, is based on Gormley's own body. The Angel, like much of Gormley's other work, is based on a cast of his own body. The steel sculpture is 208 tonnes, 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across

Rhenish Tower in Lynmouth

Built in the early 19th century, the Rhenish Tower was originally designed to pump sea water for private baths, a popular health trend at the time. Its name draws inspiration from the towers along Germany’s River Rhine, although its heart firmly belongs to North Devon.

Beyond its use for sea bathing, the Rhenish Tower served an important role for local mariners. Topped with a tar barrel lit by night, it acted as a guiding light for boats navigating safely into Lynmouth Harbour.
In 1952, Lynmouth faced devastating floods that destroyed much of the village, including the original Rhenish Tower. The disaster reshaped the harbour landscape and left a lasting mark on the community.

Following the flood, the Rhenish Tower was carefully rebuilt. Engineers extended the pier to make it stronger, and the restored tower remains faithful to its historic silhouette.

My apologies regarding mapping. I have no idea now about how to map accurately, and just use the name of the town and let the crude placement give the idea of where we are.

It's worth reading the link about what happened here in 1952

Girvan lifeboat. HFF to you all

RNLB Elizabeth and Gertrude Allan

May 5th 2018 saw the official naming ceremony for Girvan’s new Shannon class all-weather lifeboat RNLB Elizabeth and Gertrude Allan.
The Shannon class is the first of the RNLI’s all-weather lifeboats to be powered by water-jets rather than traditional propellers, making it the most agile and manoeuvrable lifeboat in the charity’s fleet.
Shannon class lifeboats are built in-house by the RNLI and the £2.1 million cost of Girvan’s new lifeboat was funded by the John & Elizabeth Allan Memorial Trust.
Capable of 25 knots, the new lifeboat is 50% faster than RNLB Silvia Burrell, the Mersey class all-weather lifeboat she has replaced.

We went to Girvan mainly because the harbour looked interesting, and I wasn't disappointed. Folks in Ayr wondered why we went there.

This is a fascinating area to explore, but Adrian didn't think so, so my time was limited here. I have included a video of what the site looked like 6 year ago. Not a lot has changed but these two boats have deteriorated.

Here is an example of what is planned for this area;

The 2 flags flying here are the Saltire and the Lion Rampant.

The Flag of Scotland, called The Saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross, is a blue field with a white saltire. According to tradition, it represents Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. The Lion Rampant of Scotland is also known as The Royal Standard of Scotland as well as Banner of the King of Scots. A royal warrant was issued which allows the flag to be displayed as a sign of loyalty to the crown and the Lion Rampant is a popular emblem in Scotland.

In the background is The Kingdom of Fife.
