The Treadgold Fish (+ 3 PiPs)

The Treadgold Fish (+ 3 PiPs)
This fish-shaped sculpture (based on Portsmouth's star and crescent motif), is known as the Treadgold Fish and has been made from scrap metal from Treadgold's, a local scrap metal merchant. It has been travelling round the city collecting plastic bottles as part of the War on Plastic for a few years now. It is currently located on the promenade near Southsea Pier.

The PiPs show close up images of the plastic waste.

Please view large, on black. Thank you.

I took a photo of this when it was still fairly new (and in better weather) back in 2019 which you can see here: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/49238884

Oh,da hast du ja einen schönen Fang gemacht lieber Keith,hahaha,aber diese Idee mit der Fisch Skulptur finde ich ganz toll,dass man so diese Plastikflaschen sammelt,da zeigst du eine wunderbare Serie :))

Bei uns kommt jetzt mit Jänner 2025 Einsatz auf Plastikflaschen und Dosen lieber Keith,das kann man dann in den Geschäften an Automaten wieder einlösen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tagesausklang,liebe Grüße Güni :))

I'm glad you like this "fish" Güni...........it's a great idea to both collect and draw attention to plastic waste. It's still around........although it gets moved around to various different location in the city.

Thanks for your visit and lovely comments, which I appreciate very much. Best wishes, Keith.
