Hadn't realised that it's been a while since I last went down to the wrecks on the River Wyre, over 18 months in fact. Given that they are only 2.15 miles away from my house (Google Earth measurement), that's actually pretty poor. What was interesting was how much further they've degenerated. In fact, give it another couple of years and I think some of the wooden ones will be barely recognisable as ships at all. Some of the shots I took back in August 2007 are not actually possible now, such is their state of disrepair. Oddly similar though was todays' weather, very windy, cloud flitting across the sky and bright late afternoon summer sunshine, as it set in the west. Don't think I took 163 shots though last time.
