This must be underwater love

I find the sea scary at times.  The vastness of it, all my unanswered questions.

This however is beautiful.  I mean, real awe-inspiring beauty.






This underwater work is the brain child of Jason de Caires Taylor.  It's a series of projects which merge art with the world under the sea.  The sculptures eventually blend into their surroundings, creating artificial reefs which attract marine life.

If you have some time to spare have a browse around the galleries on the site and learn more about the story of the 'drop sites'.  I have already wasted several hours just being in love with it all.

Gorgeous isn't it? It reminds me a bit of the Antony Gormley exhibition in Liverpool called 'another place' - not sure if you've seen it Ron but also pretty surreal, here's some info about it.

Oh I was just about to mention the Antony Gormley thing - I used to live right by Crosby beach! I love them both, mildly creepy but so atmospheric.
