ARTICLE. It seems ready to take flight, the ghostly figure surmounting the distinctive A-frame located above Miramar Beach where the Arroyo de la Medio spills into the Pacific.
Most people see an angel, but it is actually someone with a higher celestial rank.
The apparition with his arms outstretched is Odin, king of the Viking gods. Known as the God of Creation in Norse mythology, Odin was also the god of art, culture, and wisdom, the patron of artists and poets.
The sculpture is the work of artist/photographer Michael Powers, in an homage to his Viking roots.

Growing Stages is thrilled to present SEASCAPE, a play by Edward Albee. October 16 and 17 around 3pm along the dunes of Mirada Surf Beach located at, Mirada Rd & Magellan Ave, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019.
Directing Ranger (Tanika Baptiste): On a deserted stretch of beach, a middle-aged couple was relaxing after a picnic lunch and conversing idly about home, family, and their life together. She (Allison Berke) was sketching; he (Maurice Ngakane) was napping. Then, suddenly, they were approached by two sea creatures (John Szabo & Lauren Brazell) from the depths of the ocean, with whom they engaged in a fascinating dialogue with. The emotional and intellectual reverberations of this bizarre conversation still lingers in their hearts and the minds long after the days events.
