"Big Fish" by John Kindness (c. 1999)

I snapped this quickly as our Belfast step-on guide Billy was guiding us down to the docks area. This sculpture was installed in 1999, it was commissioned to celebrate the regeneration of the River Lagan. It is 10 meters in length and is made of ceramic tiles decorated with text and images of Belfast's history. I wish I could have gotten up close to it. Here's a link to the Belfast Arts Council page on "Big Fish" CLICK HERE

Too bad that man is standing right in front of the salmon's eye, oh well, I felt fortunate to get even this shot before George turned the corner!
