That seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) is apparently quite a useful one - apparently it's harvested, and used for food ingredients, animal feed, fertiliser, and health products.
Those spheres are becoming very popular at outdoor shows - I've seen them at steam rallies quite a lot in the past year or two.
That sculpture looks like an inflatable toy rocket :-)

Sin made me laugh. Great catch!!! :)
It's seaweed - extremely stinky once it's been out of the water for an hour or two :)
Thanks - I was browsing through my photos looking for potential shots to use and I that one caught my eye :)

That reminds me, I must get some calcified seaweed for my brassicas next year - they like it a lot apparently :)
This one was at the Falkirk Wheel where we routinely stop for tea on the way back from our Mull holidays (going again at the end of September! Whee!)
Yes, it does rather - but it's granite! I can barely imagine the amount of work it took to make it so regular, smooth and polished...
