Peine del Viento

San Sebastián, (Gipuzkoa - Basque Country) Spain

This sculpture by Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) is probably one of the most well-known pieces of his work, Peine del Viento or in English "Comb of the Wind".  It is made up of three massive pieces of steel (two of them are seen in this picture), each weighing over 10 tons, anchored to the rocky coastline at the end of the city's line of beaches.  The architect responsible for this layout is Luis Peña Ganchegui (1926-2009).

San Sebastián has always been a very special city for me to visit ever since I've been living in Spain and I can't think of a time when I was there and didn't take advantage of this magical place.  It's easy to lose track of the time when you're here gazing out to sea lost in your thoughts.  It's even more exciting when the sea is rough and the waves are crashing against the rocks stimulating all five senses.
