Dreaming of sailing ships and monsters by

Beyond the wall lies dreams,
of tall ships and monsters deep,
of pirate gold and sunshine dreams,
castles of sands and moats deep,
for an age to wait,
till the sea retreats.

The sea defences providing a view point for a child’s dreams, while the adults turn landwards. A walk along the sea front at Scarborough in North Yorkshire between South and North Bay’s.

Converted in black and white with a pinhole effect and best viewed large.

Shot on an Olympus E30
