Hello Ike,
The dolphins remind me of work of Gaudi in Park Guell, Barcelona.
A great idea to have artworks on the beach.
Still beautiful beach weather in Ashdod.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Ike
I like the WS photo up close too, thats a great addition to the collection. Whats even better, is the lighting, all shots are very bright and colorful, the light seems to bounce right off the statue. I'm just being picky, but in this main post it would have been great if you could have moved over just a little bit so we can see the tanker out in the ocean in full view. Here its blocked. But again, thats being picky. Didn't expect to see these. great shots
cheers
Craig

Hi Ike,

The distance between the beach and the horizon is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the colorful of the dolphin statues. I like the different shades of colors of the sea. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
Two quite beautiful sculptures of a kind I haven't seen on any other beach. They suit the environment well and are nicely placed among the rocks. The light and colours are excellent and the view of the sea and the people enjoying the warmth of late summer provide a perfect background.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,
Such a nice sculpture of mother dolphin and her child playing on the beach. They are really nice mosiac sculptures, standing out wonderfully from the sky and deep blue sea. Very well captured.

Bonjour, cher Ike,
Je trouve cela plutôt plaisant de voir ces sculptures sur la plage, de plus, le thème correspond bien à l'environnement.
La réalisation est très intéressante.
Merci pour les présentations en bonus.
Amitiés.
Philippe

lousat (139164) 2017-10-27 2:02

Hi Ike,3 nice pics showing us these curious dolphins. The style is what i seen sometimes in the seawalk of Tunisia or southern Italy,typical of years 1970,and remember me a but the Gaudi' artworks. I like the differents POV and the usual top quality. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Royaldevon (85856) 2017-10-27 2:48

Hello Ike,

What a playful sculpture!
It is really colourful because of the mosaic decorations.
Symbolically, it could be to encourage parents to play enthusiastically, on the beach, with their children.

Although all your shots are interesting to show the location and details of this sculpture, the one you have chosen is perhaps best as a main post because the blue sea and sky pose no distractions from the sculpture.

have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike Jules Verne who wrote the novel '20,000 Leagues Under the Seas' relating a discovery trip aboard a submarine never reported having seen such hearty 'marine monsters'!

Hello, Ike.
This composition is very original, with these beautiful and colorful dolphins, made with pieces of colored ceramics, in the style of Gaudi ..... ideal its contrast to the edge of the sea, a wonderful background.
Magnificent composition and color.
Excellent brightness and sharpness.
Well done. I love the photo.
Have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Ike

Very nice shot of these two dolphins. A fine artwork that in style and design makes me think of the artist Antoni Gaudi. Fine colours and well managed light. Fine work:) TFS.

Greetings, Erling

Hi Ike,

Great spot and reportage,

Ike, these statues covered with mosaics prettify Ashdod beach. They represent dolphins playing with a ball. Nice beach planning idea. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
