A rather minimalistic image from me today.

Mary’s Shell can be found on Cleveleys beach in Lancashire. It is 8 m long and 4 m high, and weighing a massive 16.5 tonnes. The shell is taken from an illustrated book called The Sea Swallow by Gareth Thompson, and was designed by Stephen Broadbent

More info can be found here  https://broadbent.studio/the-mythic-coast

F10 @ 24m 46secs ISO50

Minimalistic and very easy on the eye as presented Peter. Nicely done.

I really like the soft light and colors in this one, thanks for sharing the info on the design of that structure.

Nicely done Peter and love the serene scene and pastel colour palette. The background information is interesting - re the reason for these sculptures.

Nicely captured Peter, that SS really brought out the best of the scene and man is that thing big ... never would have guessed that.

Ditto +1 - nice use of long exposure - beautiful sky BG.

The long exposure really sets the enchanting mood on this one - well done!

A beautifully crafted image!  The smooth water really isolates attention to the sculpture. Would really like to see a tighter crop for for more detail of the shell. Very nice
