Taken from Ryde Pier on the Isle of Wight, this picture is a scenic view overlooking a Thames Barge which has been run aground deliberately in order that the people on board can play on the sands at low tide. You can see No-Man’s Land fort in the background – a sea fort built in the middle of The Solent in the nineteenth century to guard against French invasion.

    This is my favourite. Great design ‘in frame.’ Love the fort in the background too.
