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

Hi Shaun thank you i loved the weatherd feel to this boat no idea how long it had been sitting outside for in the sun and rain or may be someone had started to take the paint off and got fed up half way thriugh. : )

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.
