Mikeymutt that is a superb shot, thank you! Might have to use that as a background.

Really liking those Orient Express shots, MikeyMutt! Very atmospheric and nicely composed. - got a warm, antiquey feel to them - are they tweaked at all?

Southport Shrimpers
I've been taking pictures of the shrimpers at Southport for probably 20 years on and off. At Southport, the sea goes in and out a very long way, and as it comes in over the sand, it is warmed, making a great environment for shrimps. However, the shallow water and tidal range mean that boats can't be used to catch the shrimp, so these amazing vehicles have evolved; typically a rough plywood 'boat' and shack raised on an old truck chassis, with primitive arms to spread nets, and often a large gas ring and boiler to cook the little fellas. I don't know of similar vehicles used for fishing anywhere, and sadly, their numbers have dwindled rapidly. There were a dozen or so 20 years ago. Conventional agricultural tractors are being used instead of the truck built wonders. These pictures were taken 3 years ago, and there was one remaining functional shrimper,(the blue one) and a few ordinary tractors. There are pictures here of vehicles which were brand new builds when I first saw them (the red oxide painted ones) but are now derelict. I think the blue one still runs, but I'm not definite.

Not sure if this is completely abandoned, but it certainly doesn't work as a garage any more. Some of the vehicles look like projects, but I can't see the caravan ever going anywhere again...

My only explore this morning, it's due to be demolished. The Bungalow was locked.

Pity it's being demolished as it looks like a good building.
It's now a shell through the windows, two other abandoned houses in this village got demolished last year and a third got renovated. It's the last one.
A very small explore I did today. It's definitely derelict because there's no path heading to the door!

Not a bad looking van, pretty good condition. Kit-Kat mug of 2007 so its been derelict since then and there is something very dubious floating in that toilet pan.
I checked the dates on the food and it got abandoned at the end of 2012.

Nuba embrace..whilst on a weekend away of exploring we decided to visit this twenty foot sculpture.two skeletons entwined in each other.the skeleton sculpture was put here by a sculptor who had been in the Nuba mountains in Sudan during an attempted genocide there..I have wanted to see this for a while now and it was quite surreal sitting there on the edge of a farmers field in the middle of nowhere next to a derelict barn.

That's an interesting one Mikeymutt, difficult to get a sense of scale, 20ft you say?
I came across this beauty today, unfortunately, the access point was too narrow for the tripod so here are some external shots.
