Sheppey and Shellness

Weather was great all day, so as soon as I finished work took the car for a spin to the Isle of Sheppey, an hour or so each way, scenic route as far east on the Island as I can get to the end of Shellness road.

Around 8.30pm and a fantastic sunset, this looking west back across the island with the car snuggled just under the sea defence embankment.

...and looking east/south east over Shellness beach along the Thames estuary


Way off in the far distance the smudge on the horizon is the Maunsell Forts. I think it must be Red Sands Ford centre frame and Shivering sands to the right, more detail visible with the naked eye than my camera. They look like some sort of War of the Worlds tripods frozen in time.

Huge skies, and a decent drive, love it.
