An afternoon Essex River Cruise after the whale watch followed by a meal at Woodman’s. More lobster for me.











I made a special trip to Bermondsey Wall and the River Neckinger, that flows into the south bank of the Thames River, to photograph a group of Thames Barges moored there with Tower Bridge in the background. January 1, 2016 was a gray rainy winter day — perfect to capture the dark mood I wanted.
