Artworks based in Morecambe Bay

These are a couple basic ideas for a sculpture in Morecambe Bay. I've been playing around with some ideas like this and thought I would throw them out there to see if I get any interest.

I see the bottom one as a combination of metal and glass or maybe even plastic.. it would have to be real tough to stand everything nature would throw at it. Would glass erode in such conditions ? Would shiny glass become roughened like worn glass you find amongst the pebbles on the beach ?

Is it possible to re-enforce glass ? Any glass makers out there fancy having a go ?
Could it even be made ?

I have no idea..

Glorious February sunset at Morecambe Bay

A couple of weeks ago the weather settled down for a few days and allowed me to get out with my camera. We went for a walk along Morecambe promenade late one afternoon with the light fading, the tide was close to shore and the water was as calm as a mill pond. The sun dipped over the horizon and the light was fading creating some gloriously subtle colours. If your interested there are plenty more pictures like this one at artistrising.com. The top picture has not been altered in anyway, the colours are as the camera recorded them..
