The Big Fish of River Lagan

If you have read the post on the Lagan Weir, you should then know that the environmental restoration project carried out in the area resulted also in the rebirth of the river as wildlife habitat, with salmons and common seals back to swim in the River Lagan's waters.

To celebrate this success, a sculpture was commissioned in 1999 to local artist John Kindness.

He realised a 10 meters long salmon, with the outer "skin" composed by ceramic blue tiles decorated with texts and images relating to the history of Belfast.
