Sea God Manannan

I love this sculpture by artist Ann Meldon Hugh. It was commissioned by the local council under the
Per Cent Per Art Scheme which set aside money from any development for a piece of public art.
This stands at Soldier's Point which is on the opposite side of Dundalk Bay to where I live. It's a
popular spot for townspeople to go walking, with good views across to Slieve Gullion and the Cooley
Mountains. I nipped down there for a few minutes today as I finish work early on Tuesdays and had
time for a brief detour after grocery shopping and before picking my son up from school. The
weather has turned colder again, with frost overnight, and bright sunny days.

A wonderful idea to support public art. I'm slowly getting to know the places around where you live...

You caught some good light, its setting is equally spectacular.

The blue of the sky and water set the sculpture off so well! v

This is a wonderful sculpture Mairead!!! It looks so familiar and I'm wondering if I saw it when I was in Dundalk in 1985. V
