On a late summer evening we made a visit to the Purton Hulks. The bones of decaying ships that were beached over the years to shore up the riverbank, have now become something of a little piece of history. Wandering round these old decaying vessels, is a peaceful and poignant experience. It took me back to childhood days, when my Grandpa would take me onto the old decommissioned ships at Giants Grave in Briton Ferry. He worked for Wards ship breakers and I loved to explore those sad frigates and merchant vessels with him. Wondering at the cramped living quarters and hammocks the seafaring men endured for months at a time. Strangely, although there were just skeletal remains to see, I noticed one of the ships was called the Briton Ferry. I like to thing that Grandpa knew I was there and was watching me. What a surreal and beautiful evening. #ships#ship#gloucester#wrecks#wreck#shotwithlove#ukshots#ukgreatshots#genuinebritain#reallife#memories#shotwithlove#ukpotd#bestukpucs#excellentbritain#photography#photographer #explore#exploremore#october#riversevern#riverside#hiking#canonglobal#skyporn#dusk#shipwreck#rust
When a bold fresh wind chases the rain clouds away, and the scent of salt and ozone is sharp, when the sand stings your face, and the sounds of rushing water is punctuated with honking white geese, then you know that you’ve truly woken up! ~ Walking the coast at Parrog beach, a wonderful way to spend the last weekend of September #coast #coastal #coastalwalk#explore#getoutside #getoutsideandplay #shotwithlove#genuinebritain#yourbritain#excellentbritain#pembrokeshire#parrog #beach#sky #skyporn#skies#clouds #cloudporn #thewalescollective#lovewales #ukpotd#bestukpics#september#mylife#reallife#mood#instamood#ocean#sea#seaside
