Lucky, times two.

A square color photograph of a pair of walking arm crutches, leaning against a pale green cinder-block wall with darker green graffiti, a minimalist line drawing that appears ocean themed. The crutches are upside down with the pads touching the concrete at the base of the wall and the feet caps interrupting the graffiti.

Crutches.

Shornemead Lighthouse and its walkway. The light is at the top of an iron tower, its base surrounded by fencing with barbed wire at the top of the fence. A walkway leads from the river bank to the tower. The structure is painted red, the colour somewhat faded. It stands against a blue sky with white cloud. The lighthouse stood from 1913 until 2003, when it was removed: it is now at the Port Of London Authority complex at Denton, Gravesend, a few miles upriver. It was removed due to erosion of the river bank and, presumably, age. The lighthouse has been restored and painted, revealing a copper dome not visible in my photo. It was replaced on the river by a red & White column light. Taken in 2003 using my first digital SLR, a Pentax *istD, which I still have. It still works...
