Wrecked Comet Tank...

I have posted similar to this but this was shot a few days ago. July 2024, Theddlethorpe Beach Lincolnshire. A one time bombing range.

Beth, one of the key features of Lincolnshire are the huge, flat open spaces. So many folk comment on what they see as "big skies" and the constant breezes off the sea. My spiritual place.

And another shot of the famous Lincolnshire Comet Tank wreck only this one taken years ago. I first found this object back around 1984 and photographed it using my then Bronica ETRS. I then used a Fuji GW690 and later a Pentax 67. I adore big negatives and big prints.

The sea is of course slowly dissolving this old WW2 wreck which was driven to it's resting place back in the early 70's.

I was so lucky to be born when I was and in the location I was in. Thank you Mom and Dad wherever you may (or may not) be.

The sky is beautifully-rendered in this one, Shaun! Nice comp, too.
