Caught sight of the sun going through the clouds tonight and looking kinda nice, so quickly grabbed the Digi and drove the 5 minutes to the riverside for a few shots. This is a little patch of mud called "Monkey Island" where people used to (maybe still do?) dig for Ragworm to use as fishing bait. Couple more shots to follow. (",)

There's a few pylons in this area due to the power station over on the other riverbank.

......and the now-disused power station which is being dismantled, taken from the same spot. (",)

YI Jordy man, These r great. You cant beat a nice bit of sky, just love the reflections and the power lines standing like giants over the landscape. What digital camera do you have mate? I keep looking but cant decide when to jump if you know what I mean. :O)

Great shots. I love the 3rd one. The color is great.

Nice shots Jordy, I like them all but the contrast between the beautiful colour of the sky & the industrial landscape in 3rd really strikes me.

...definedly the last one. Beautiful shots, but as beautiful that sky is in 1&2, its bit traditional. But the blue one with reflections, I'm diggin. .n

Ahhh... just what I need... killer skies to unwind! :-) These pics are sweet, Mikey! #3 is my favorite... >>cool shots, nice sky, where's the monkeys? Uh, Jack, there's one monkey, but it's best if I just keep my mouth shut. LMAO (*

tch. cheeky. I don't know where it got the name, I'll try the guy that runs the town's website and see if he can tell me. It may or may not be related to a town called Hartlepool who once hung a monkey beleiving it to be a French spy. Ironically, the football team's mascot is a guy in a monkey costume called H'Angus - he recently went for Mayor and erm.....won.......in the costume. (",)
