Looking the other way...... - a photo on Flickriver

            The Scallop sits on the beach at Aldeburgh, in Suffolk.  It is a 13 foot-ish (4 metre) high monument, by local-born artist Maggi Hambling, to the late Benjamin Britten, composer and past Aldeburgh resident, who used to take his afternoon walks along the beach.  The sculpture consists of two, broken, interlocking scallop shells.  Cut into the rim of the upright shell are the words “I hear those voices that will not be drowned” from Britten’s opera Peter Grimes.  The Scallop was installed in 2003.  It is rumoured to have cost around £75,000 and was paid for by donations, largely due to the fund-raising efforts of the Chairman of Adnams plc 
Of course I took photos of this beautiful sculpture from every angle I reckon. I have processed this to appear as from my camera but have others where I processed high key, b&w, etc ect…
This is taken looking Southwold.
We enjoyed Suffolk and may go again. I didn’t have my brain truly wired to take photos and this I believe comes across in my photography….Sue :)
