Where the Shore Meets the Sky

A quiet evening on Crosby Beach, where visitors walk across the vast stretch of wet sand towards the sea. One of Antony Gormley’s Another Place figures stands among them, silhouetted against the water, while offshore wind turbines fade into the hazy horizon. The low sun glitters across the waves and throws long shadows over the beach, giving the scene a calm, reflective feel.
