Here comes the Falconbrook!

Many thanks for looking and for all your lovely comments - it's very encouraging to know that people are enjoying my posts.

This works better on large view.
Lester and I went to Laleham, a village in Surrey, today, after stopping off at a garden centre for lunch - an activity much loved by retired people :-)
I'd looked longingly at this stretch of the Thames when we were on the way back home from another outing and put in a request to the management for a return trip and stop-off for taking some photographs of it because it's particularly lovely.

I got lucky because this tug boat appeared as I was lining the camera up, very obliging of it!
The tug's the Falconbrook - a brief biography can be found here http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=438076

I tried a few crops but liked this version because it gave the best idea of distance.

Even with the tug boat there it still looks so tranquil!!

Yes, good on large view. You get the feeling of wide open space better.

The appearance of the tug boat makes it!
