In celebration of what seems like the summer finally arriving, i'm going to post a set of shots taken on various walks and visits made recently (and upcoming), to numerous places along the South coast and here in the West Midlands.
Taken on Hove beach last week. Just loved the textures and colours involved in this abandoned boat, especially with a backdrop as good as that!
Great colour,we love it well framed and great detail,i have a setting on my olympus e-30 called pop art and it makes the photo nice and rich in colour,just like yours,must be worth a fav:)
Reminds me of the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner":
The boat came closer to the ship,
But I nor spake nor stirred;
The boat came close beneath the ship,
And straight a sound was heard.
Under the water it rumbled on,
Still louder and more dead:
It reached the ship, it split the bay;
The ship went down like lead.
Stunned by that loud and dreadful sound,
Which sky and ocean smote,
Like one that hath been seven days drowned
My body lay afloat;
But swift as dreams, myself I found
Within the Pilot's boat.
Upon the whirl, where sank the ship,
The boat spun round and round;
And all was still, save that the hill
Was telling of the sound.
I moved my lips--the Pilot shrieked
And fell down in a fit;
The holy Hermit raised his eyes,
And prayed where he did sit.

Thanks for the follow and fav :)
