Halcyon Days

A Bathing Beauty, part of the 'Structures on the Edge' programme sponsored by Lincolnshire County Council, which tries to encourage different artwork from year to year.

This particular Bathing Beauty took me a little while to find. It's the last in the line on the South Promenade at Sutton on Sea.

"Paying homage to the traditional beach hut form, this original Bathing Beauty is expertly crafted from western red cedar and uses acrylic panels to allow shafts of light to travel through the walls and roof. Light dances through the interior during the day and when night falls, light from inside travels out creating an abstract glowing beacon."

I was able to capture some of the light shining through by going round the back, but dear me, it does look as if it could be overgrown quite soon, and it's such a shame that it's set into the bank so that you can't see the light from sunset shining through.
