Had a nice couple of flights near St Helens at Sutton Manor Park.
The Dream Sculpture lives in the middle of the park, quite weird a large white head stuck in the middle of knowhere! But cool at the same time.
Here’s a few facts…
Designed by world-famous, Catalan artist Jaume Plensa
Dream is 20 metres, 66 feet high and is fifty times life size
It has a weight of 373 tonnes
Made from white pre-cast concrete with Spanish dolomite
The plinth in the shape of a miner’s tally is 17 metres diameter
The casting of Dream by Evans Concrete took a total of sixty days
A total of 6160 man hours were spent in constructing the sculpture
54 different panels weighing 9 tonnes each comprise the head
The sculpture’s supporting piles go 38 metres underground
An incredible 35 million vehicles pass Dream each year on the M62
So some work went into it!
I’m looking for some feedback on the sunrise, I was using an ND8 filter, on the mini 3 pro, I think it’s toooo bright, over blown. Didn’t know how to tame it in post. Any ideas for me to adopt next time?
Here’s the vid anyway, enjoy
