"Tommy" - a photo on Flickriver

"Tommy"

I recently went to see "Tommy" at Seaham seafront, after sunrise with my Wednesday shooting partner Dave from Dave Brightwell Photography

I'd hoped to have got here before but as I had just taken delivery of a superb print by Dave I figured I could wait a little longer to meet our "Tommy" On first appearances I was bowled over by the "presence" of Tommy he has a real mystery about him, you can feel his pain and you instantly feel you are tip toeing around him - so as not to wake him up from his frozen sleep. At over 9.5 feet Tommy is truly an imposing sight!

A huge congratulations must go to the local people who put together the "Mission 1101" initiative to keep "Tommy" in Seaham. They needed to raise £85,000 to purchase the statue from local artist Ray Lonsdale, and it was the local people of Seahman that nicknamed the statue "Tommy".

Such an honour to get so close to this statue and I have more of him to follow!
