The Fish by Frank Gehry


For years, Frank Gehry has been concerned with fish imagery. Here, his fish fixation is manifested by a 35 metre x 54 metre fish made of steel lattice. The fish marks the start of the Olympic Port area and is placed at the base of two landmark towers. As an artwork its grabs the eye for its scale and as its copper colour shines in the bright sunlight. This is the normal turning point of our run it is approximately two miles from our house. It allows us to create a final point while letting us run alow the beach. The mediteranean is a pretty picturesque backdrop for a run.

Doster....This is exactly the right idea. Keep with this idea 1 picture, 1 post with factoid. Hopefully this did not take too long for you to do. Please pass the word on to any of your classmates who are struggling with their blogs. This simple format of picture & text updated daily is exactly the way to go.

Good job.
