“It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write"

Hey, my brother sent me this link today. Basically, this artist creates these sculptures and then submerges them into the ocean where they eventually become a part of the landscape! Isn't it amazing (and slightly eerie, too)?!
It's funny how my mind is so split on this. It is a really interesting idea and the sculptures are fascinating, but I can't quite silence the voice of my inner environmentalist on this one. I think the last picture is the one that allows me to relax a bit. Art becoming a part of nature. Do you know more about the depth and visitations of these sculptures?
I had a similar hesitation, but I think these sculptures actually help to restore the natural environment that they are placed in. Here is more information on the artist's own website: http://www.jasondecairestaylor.com/pages/environment/artificial-reefs.htm
