The Iron Man

We were in Liverpool for the weekend with my son who was doing time trials to qualify for the GB under 18 dragon boat team.  Took a drive up the coast to Crosby and found these cast iron statues.

These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea.
The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.
