Cola de Ballena, Steel sculpture at Club de Regatas, Cartagena, Spain
The Cola de Ballena measures five meters in height and eight meters in width, representing a whale's tail emerging from water near the boat dock.
Fernando Sáenz de Elorrieta installed this contemporary steel structure in 2007, adding a modern element to Cartagena's maritime landscape during environmental discussions.
The sculpture stands near migration zones of Cabo Tiñoso and Cabo de Palos, connecting local marine life with artistic expression in the urban setting.
Visitors can access the sculpture by walking along the waterfront promenade, with morning hours providing optimal natural lighting for photographs.
The artist used 27,000 kilograms of concrete and weathering steel to construct this marine-themed monument, incorporating professional diving expertise in its creation.
