See horse

An icy wind didn't deter a group of curious spectators from following a tour of the new Art Afoot  trail of sculptural designs aimed at promoting the environmental aspects of our Twin Towns. 

This giant sea horse is the highlight. Its maker, Gideon Peterson, was on hand to describe the process and thinking behind the sculpture which looks out towards the harbour where the ferry to and from Ireland docks and departs.
It's mounted on a huge rock from a nearby hillside.
The spikes represent sea grass, an important form of sea weed among which sea horses live and breed.

In my usual pedantic fashion I had to point out that we don't have sea grass on this exposed north Pembrokeshire coast, we have kelp beds instead. Sea grass is found on the more sheltered south coast. It's rare to find a sea horse hereabouts. 
However, we have one now and it's likely to become a popular feature of the townscape.

Extra shows some of the designs to be found elsewhere on the sculpture trail. Not everyone rates these very highly, thinking they're a bit tacky, but they were based on drawings done by children during the consultation process. It's good to know that these creatures exist in their imaginations even if they may only rarely be seen by the naked eye.
