Reminds me a lot of where I grew up, or tried to, on the Cumbrian coast.

    Have you visited Dungeness, England’s desert (really) and a graveyard of small wooden boats across miles of shingle, beautiful skies, fish and chips of all sizes too?

    Never been there Brian, I have only ever driven through Kent to get to Dover. I think I saw it once on ‘Coast’.

    Well worth the trip to the area, vineyards, Battle of Hastings re-enactment in October, across to Rochester for Castle and docks ….

    It is a horrible journey from the north. The A1, A14, M11, M25 and then the Queen Elizabeth Crossing. Much easier and less frustrating to go North!

Great selection. The picture titled Boat 03 seems to be channelling an octopus or some form of crustacean for lagniappe, and I like the shadow picture next to it very much too.

  Thanks for stopping by. The picture was taken somewhere in Greece, I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly where. The shadow picture was Koufonisia in the Greek Islands.
