..but this dead end demolishes the dream of an open highway...

Right! I'm in a bad mood at the moment, so I'll give you a couple of pictures from the surrounds of Spunky Mansions.

The Luigi Esilvia:













Ah! Bless it. This boat has seen better days. moored up in an area that looks like a boat's graveyard she's still doing her best and seaworthy but no longer loved. There's a bit of paralell to people working in the UK here - Get too old and no one wants you (fortunately I'm not there yet but I've seen many who are).

The dead linger on:













A bit further on in the boats graveyard lies this skeleton. It's dry ribs thrust up from the sand and sludge. What type of boat was it and what did it do? Nobody knows........

The Blob













There are a lot of disused wharfs by the Thames. A number were still in action when I first moved here 5 years ago. This is some of the essence trying to escape under the fence.
