the big fish and the boat

located in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  Photo from the 2015 archives.

The Big Fish is a printed ceramic mosaic sculpture by John Kindness. The 10-metre-long statue was constructed in 1999 and installed on Donegall Quay in Belfast, Northern Ireland, near the Lagan Lookout and Custom House.

The building in the background is known as The Boat.  It was designed by Todd Architects and is close to the Customs House building in the city centre and has been described as an oversized "blank gable wall".  Here's a view of the penthouse if you're interested.

monday mural - unite the union

This is the Unite the Union Transport House in Belfast,.  Photos were taking in Oct 2015.  The info below I found on Wikipedia.

Unite the Union, commonly known as Unite, is a British and Irish trade union, formed on 1 May 2007, by the merger of Amicus and the Transport and General Workers' Union. It is the largest trade union in the UK and Ireland.

 I searched for some info on this sculpture but couldn't find any.  It's quite interesting though, I like it!
