"Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud"

My quest was for a lighthouse but we don't have many in Essex. Whilst I was searching I discovered that it was the day of the Blackwater Barge Match. I took the TR4 topless to Bradwell to see if I could get a shot of the red sailed beauties returning. By the time I got there I was frozen, my fingers were dead and unfortunately for me a stiff breeze meant that the craft had already passed under the shadow of the Magnox. :(

I decided to go to Tollesbury to shoot this decommissioned lightship, home to a Christian fellowship which runs sailing camps for children. I love the big skies, the saltings and the Essex mud.
