This statue on the grounds of Swansea University (Singleton Park campus) was difficult to get close to to photograh as it is at the back of a bicycle rack! The piece is by Michael Fynn and was unveiled in 1985.

Confucious, Swansea University
This seven feet tall stone statue of Confucious, located on the grounds of Swansea University (Singleton Park campus) is, without anty doubt my favourite statue in Swansea:
The of the Chinese philosopher was unveiled in 2009 and was gifted by the European Federation of Chinese Organisations in recognition of "the success of the deep and strengthening links between academic institutions, businesses and government organisations."

Difficult to find in the maze that is Swansea University, it is, nevertheless, worth seeking out as it is a truly impressive public monument and work of art.

Litter Louts on Swansea Bay
I hate seeing litter left laying around like this. What kind of person has such utter disregard for such an amazing beach?
