Hands of Time 7 - Tying a Rope to a Mooring Ring

Here's another in the Hands of Time sculpture series by Crystal Przybille. This one references Victoria's long relationship with ships and the sea. It shows hands tying a rope to a mooring ring set into the bedrock very near to where ships visiting Victoria used to moor. This sculpture is located below Wharf Street just north of the old Customs House. The fish & chips stand of Red Fish/Blue Fish is visible on the right side in the photo to the left.

    Great but a bit creepy statue. Very well executed one. Thanks for showing us.

    Is there a map of where these are located or are you finding them on your own?

    I can't help but think of Kitty Pryde phasing herself through rock in the X-Men comics when I see these....

    Thanks all for your kind comments.

    @JoJo - there's a guide on the city website that I've been using to find these. Even with that it's not always easy (there's still one I'm looking for....)
