The Long Shadow - Hadleigh Castle: Black and White Thames Estuary Photography A dramatic black and white fine art print of Hadleigh Castle and the Thames Estuary, captured in low key light with a striking silhouetted skyline.

Hadleigh Castle in shadow looking across the Thames Estuary – a study in light, ruin and open sky. Quiet, stark and timeless.

Anyway, now I am feeling all reflective...

A new mural by @soupLAWS in back of a building shaped like the Alamo at Essex Modern City with a train and the Tower of the Americas in the background. That's a very San Antonio kind of scene.

I’d have been happier had the veins come out the intended red. Alas, they are beautiful all the same.
