The Weebles – fraggle ~ rocking a camera across the Universe

This afternoon I went down to Little Haven Beach at South Shields, to photograph The Weebles, which I’ve shot a few times, but never in B&W, I thought their texture would show well in mono. It was a cold and windy day today with a moody sky which helps.

So this is the shot I’ve chosen for Day 36,

I originally chose this shot below, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted the firewood shot, and then Mary commented and that decided it!

More shots of Weebles

I had a wander down to the sea and took some pictures of stuff on the beach, and waves and boats, so here are a few of those

Am beginning to get a feel for B&W I think, and nearly liking it! 🙂

The Weebles are a collection of 22 life size bronze sculptures by Spanish artist Juan Munoz (1953-2001) and as a whole the sculture is called “The Conversation”, although the locals here have nicknamed the sculptures “the Weebles” after a 70’s toy Weeble, the advertisisng catchphrase being ‘weebles wobble but they don’t fall down’. Consequently most people visiting the sculpture give them a push to see if they do wobble, but as they weigh about a 1/4 of a tonne, they don’t move!
