Ballycastle Fish #1

Leaping fish sculpture at Ballycastle, County Antrim, Northern Ireland

The story behind this image

There are two recently commissioned sculptures on the seafront at Ballycastle on Northern Ireland's Antrim coast.

This sculpture, situated at the mouth of the fishing harbour, is called the 'Leap of Faith', and represents the various types of fish that are caught in these waters.

The other sculpture is called the 'Children of Lir', and shows four swans in flight.

My wife Liz and I had the pleasure of an afternoon wandering around Ballycastle just looking at the scenery and taking plenty of photos.

The sculptures were just too good to pass by without a photo or two.
