The Stump from The Haven

Boston, Lincolnshire

A rather bleak, late December, landscape. This water channel is The Haven, a sea inlet from the large square shaped estuary on England's east coast known as The Wash. This inlet provides access for shipping to the port of Boston which is still active today - yellow dock cranes visible just left of centre. The height of the Stump means it is visible for many miles and it has been used for centuries as a navigation aid for travellers on land and at sea.

Love the very dramatic sky and seagulls. It does give The Stump and entirely different look from here, almost like a lighthouse. V.

An ominous atmosphere with these tones, lighting, clouds and birds. "V"
