Celebrating Galway's Seagulls?



The Claddagh Icon is a public artwork in Galway near Claddagh Quay.  It normally blends into the grey background.  Except when the sun strikes it at just the right angle, which I happened while I was strolling past one day in October 2017.

Officially it's a Galway Hooker (ie traditional sailing boat) and a cormorant with the sun as a backdrop of the sun. But it could become known as the Seagull Monument.

Thank you!
