Black Pill, Swansea Bay

Taking advantage of an unexpected further lovely evening, I took another stroll down Swansea Bay tonight, this time heading further west to Black Pill. The tide was nice and full when I arrived around the 6pm mark, making the beach walk even more atmospheric and enjoyable:



Reaching Clyne, I was rather taken by this public art work, known as the 'Musical Osprey':


The piece is part of a set of two ospreys, one nesting and this one ready to take to the air. Made to commemorate the reopening of the  Blackpill Lido in August 2000, the sculpture is located in the children's play area and can be played musically like a giant xylophone.

I ended the evening's walk by visiting The Woodman, enjoying a nice hot coffee there before heading back out into the chill of the night and the return walk along the beach:
