Bow to the wind

Sculpture Oscar Tusquets located on the beach of Las Canteras in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The winds on Las Canteras beach are usually from north or northeast and the position of this sculpture is forward to the wind.
If you stop to observe it closely, it looks like the hull of a Spartan, of those who fought in the battle of Thermopylae, but after a careful observation of percatas that is the bow of a ship heading north.
The two tourists sitting on the starboard side seem to be waiting to get on board, as they take in the magnificent autumn sun on one of the best urban beaches in the world.
I don't want to miss the play of lights and shadows that the sun gives in its game with this sculpture.
