Dogwalk at Crosby Beach

Well it seemed such a lovely day today that me and Mel decided to take Blue to the beach,  Crosby Beach was the place we headed to, mainly due to the fact we wanted to see the Another Place sculptures by Antony Gormley which are found there.
There are 100  figures which all face out to sea and are  spread over about a 2 mile stretch of Crosby beach, each figure is made from cast iron and about  6 feet tall

Pretty amazing site seeing all those sculptures spread out along the beach and seeing how the sea and tide have altered them, plus there’s the odd few that have been dressed up or altered in someway, be it with hats, scarves or paint, every so often you’d catch a glimpse of one out of the corner of your eye and think what the fcuk is he doing in the sea in these temperatures ?, then you’d realise it was a sculpture.
Its a very good beach to walk dogs on as well plenty of sand for the dogs to go mental on, Blue loved it, she got to meet lots of other dogs and had a right good runaround, she looked thoroughly knackered when we got back to the car, must admit I was pretty knackered myself, but definitely going to go back again soon and explore the area and beach a bit more.
