Ribs of the Boat.

Taken at Southwold Harbour 12.9. 09

There was so much to look at today when Simon and I arrived at Southwold on th search for some Lunch. The light was beautiful and it was quiet.

I loved the inside of the boat and all the peeling paint work. The structure reminded me of a Rib cage. My Nursing background coming into play. LOl

    Beautifully captured. You might consider the Beautiful Garbage group, too. Well, I’m not one of the co-hosts, or even a member, so I can’t say for sure, but, I think this would be suitable.

  • Karen Betts replied 10 days ago

    I will go and have a look at what the beautiful garbage accepts for images thank you for the thought.
