February 1st 2010 - Iron Man and the Moon

Lucky enough to be driving along the Dock Road just before 8am this morning - noticed the moon was still visible as the sun was rising behind me. I've always wanted to take a photograph of Antony Gormley's installation, 'Another Place' (100 life-sized iron casts of the artist himself, at intervals in the sand going 1km. out to sea at Crosby) but had waited for the right conditions. Today was the day...I'm really pleased with the images; the colours in the sky, the stillness of the scene and the moon reflecting in the water, and struggled to decide which to post. Check back at the end of the month for a slideshow of the others. Bitterly cold but a beautiful light.
