I’ll have to say they’re kind of eerie, but that’s what I like. They remind me a bit of the statues at Easter Island. It’s a pity that in a few years the barnacles will render them unrecognizable.

You make a valid point! There was some controversy when the statues were first put their – from complaints they were pornographic to concern about tourists getting stuck in soft sand to fears among environmentalists that breeding birds would be compromised by increased numbers of people – not to mention what they would do to a boat! But the fact they were meant to be temporary and now they’re permanent suggests they’ve grown on people. And talking of growing on people, I’m pretty sure barnacles can grow on iron! The Titanic was made of iron, and that looks like it has a few barnacles on it these days!

This is strange, do barnacles grow on iron? Also, if someone were to drown on the beach couldn’t this be hazardous? What if someone were swimming and then the lifeguards didn’t notice?
