Rhyl men of steel

[seajunky]

We have just had a new addition to the harbour in Rhyl. Its the new pedestrian/bicycle bridge. And in addition these three feilas popped up from nowhere.

And this is the new bridge.

I particularly like the silhouette effect in #1 and #3 Steve. 

 

What I can't make out is what the guy in the middle is supposed to be - is he about to clap his hands over his ears at the guitar player, or is he saying to the footballer, "Over 'ere son, on me 'ead"?  

[Martyn]

Looks like three men and a buoy to me!

 

I'm thinking, watch that sky and the lighting, there's gonna be a great shot coming out of this!

[bugmeister]

I like the silhouettes especially, but the bridge shot isn't really very clear.

 

A bit of searching on the interweb tells me that they are three 'local heroes' from Rhyl.

 

To quote the Rhyl Journal:

 

"Artwork of Rhyl heroes Sir John Houghton, the Nobel prize winning climate scientist and former Rhyl Grammar School pupil, musician Mike Peters, lead singer of The Alarm, and Rhyl FC’s Don Spendlove, who bagged a record of 629 goals during the 1940s and 50s, have been placed at the gateway to the bridge."

 

The names mean absolutely nothing to me, but the fact that your picture was enough to send me off to find out who they were said that both the ironwork and your picture did their job Nicely taken.

The sighting of the artwork dosnt look brilliant to me but I am with martyn sky and light is the key to some brillant shots here

[Kobione]

Interesting, Steve, and I agree there will be more opportunity with fantastic light!

[seajunky]

You are all to kind. I also feel that the shots are only average. The light wasn't very good. Thats enough excuses now.
