The Circle Man |
These are some circles dug into the
beach by a deliberately anonymous
gentleman near the derelict West Pier in
Brighton, UK.
We had an interesting talk about the aesthetic and engineering qualities of various shapes, settling a disagreement over whether a spiral was better than a triangle by noting that the triangular bracing of the West Pier didn’t seem to be working all that well at present.
He didn’t want to have a photo taken (which I thought was too bad - he was really animated, and his face had some real character), or take a note of his name. He’s apparently been doing this for years, as a sort of hobby (Google knows of at least one article about him from 2002). He seems to prefer (and perhaps is entertained) by the fact that noone really knows who he is or why he makes his circles.
