Wow, most of the Thames disappeared today!
This mooring buoy looks so wrong beached, usually it is floating. Out of context.
I didn’t realise how massive they are
Underfoot was a bit treacherous and I recall stories of people sinking in the mud, especially a couple of girls rescued when they were up to their necks. Gothic stuff. Imagine sinking down, relief as your feet touch something solid – only to find you are standing on the head of somebody else…. Easy to see how it happens, though I was more concerned about slipping and bashing the Rollei.
Everything is relentlessly mud coloured, like watery eyes, lacking real definition. So many colours of mud.
I really do expect to find a body part around here. Tis fanciful, but it is February, and grey too.
Later on in the day we were walking Gizmo by the river in Deptford and the Thames was nearly lapping over the path it was so high. Extreme.
What I didn’t photograph was the spectacular double rainbow arching over the Old Royal Naval College and landing in Island Gardens. I whipped out the little digi only to find that I’d forgotten to replace the SD card FFS!
