CROSBY BEACH & ANOTHER PLACE

Crosby's huge beach stretches north of Waterloo with superb views and many opportunities for walking. Artist Antony Gormley gave him a new stamp in 2005 with his Next Place project: 650 iron silhouettes weighing 1,89 kilos each and measuring metres. They stretch over three kilometres long and one kilometer wide. It is the allegory of one being reproduced in an industrial way on the artist's model, trying to stand upright and to breathe on the horizon loaded with ships. A special atmosphere… Unfortunately, it is impossible to swim in the sea here because of the shifting sands.
