Following Natalie

The Last Look

Following Natalie

This is the epitome of a Trawler returning to port, with the seagulls following.

A common sight now, but for how much longer?
The trawler Natalie, about to enter the Looe River, Looe, Cornwall, to offload her catch, tie up and clean up, ready to return to sea the next day.

Hope you like it.
Thanks for looking.

    Boats will always beat flowers for me. This is a beauty. Great colour and as you say following birds for a bonus. Do you know if she was crabbing?

  • The Last Look replied

    I dont think its a crabber Clive, as it has the winch on the back.
    Its just a small net trawler.

    Many thanks.

    It doesnt look right if a boat doesnt have seagulls following it.

    I know what you mean, and I think I would have done it if I didnt do the church window as SC.
    Also, I wanted to show off how nice and sunny it was when we were on holiday. :-))

    Oh well..

    Richard..
    Thanks mate .. for both a nice shot and your comment on my shots.
    Keep smiling mate
    John

  • The Last Look replied

    Many thanks John. Glad you like it, and that we share the same thoughts.
    Yes, I have been to Schev, and walked along the pier, and ate lots of herring. mmmmm
    It is a shame, as I have lost contact with a very good friend of mine who lived in Den Haag.
