Hi Derek, to answer your question, this is Poole Quay in Dorset. The blue grey sculpture and combined viewing platform at the end of the road here is by Sir Anthony Caro and is called 'Sea Music'. Across the water is the working part of the quay and the site of the car ferry to France etc. The museum in the title is an old former warehouse conversion and has four floors - this is the view from the cafe on the third floor which has an external glass walled area with views out to the quayside and up the old high street - really handy for me as I didn't need to lean out of a window at an alarming angle to get this shot! Thank you for your compliment Derek :)
