Peter Anson Sculpture - Complete

This photograph shows the sculpture in the evening.  As the sun sets the herrings inside the net reflect the light and truly become 'Silver Darlings'.  And if you look at the net from a distance in certain light an optical illusion shows the 'Silver Darlings' appearing as if they are outside the net. 

If you like to see more on the construction of the sculpture click on this link to YouTube and you'll see a slideshow made by committee member Malcolm Smith.
