A golden oldie here from near Colchester in Essex, July 2007.

We were staying near these Backwaters, and on this beautiful evening decided to take a walk from the nearby Beaumont Quay along one of the many backwaters. We finished up here at Landermere Wharf (Quay) just as the sun was setting behind the trees and water. A local young lady was sat on the fence and a discussion ensued ending up with this powerful photo.
The backwaters ran from the sea just to the south of Harwich and was used as a main thoroughfare for barges taking cargos such as flour to and manure from London. When we were here, it was being used as a semi-permanent home for many old barges and cruisers now house-boats.

Have a good weekend.
