Newbiggin by the sea

Click image for a larger view

Newbiggin by the sea is a small seaside town with just over 5,000 residents. Centered around a bay teeming with marine wildlife, a peaceful beach known for its glowing sunrises and fiery sunsets, and Sean Henry's intriguing Couple sculpture that sits out at sea.

The Couple

The Couple is the U.K’s first permanent, public art, offshore sculpture, as it’s based 300 meters off the coast of Northumberland on a platform that’s installed upon a rock breakwater. This sea-based “couple” stands 5 metres tall, and were created by Sean Henry from bronze, steel and marine paint in 2007.

It has been a pretty wet weekend with some strong gusts of wind, but people still walk the promenade no matter the weather.
