Did she?

Sometimes you come across the most unusual sights in what, otherwise, would be normal surroundings.
We went to the seaside today - Swanage to be exact.




This is what you might expect to find; a sea view, boats, cliffs, a pier and what's standing aginst the rail on the right of the picture;




or,








people eating mussels and other seafood delicacies.












Somewhat of a surprise therefore when you look at the view on the other side of the approach to the pier, to see men-like creatures from under the sea, with a creepy looking tower in the background!










You could even come across a couple of divers seemingly perplexed at the disappearance of their companion?

Of course, you could go back to seeing the simple sights of a day at the seaside - such as these two artists.



But, if you look carefully you will see a number of small plaques on the decking to the right of where they sit. They are just a few of hundreds, with a great variety of messages, which stretch the length of the pier.



At the top of the few examples here,  a truly novel proposal for Tara Binsted to accept.




I shall forever wonder:

did she?

Where have you been then?
