Its a bit of a Wreck!

A piece of the hull of a wrecked ship on my local beach caught my eye so tried to make an interesting composition in the quickly fading light! I don`t know how long it has lain there but it looks pretty ancient despite being metal. This beach was notorious in days goneby because of a group known as the Crygyll Wreckers . They were led by a Woman called Madam Wen and were thought to lure ships to their untimely end along this beach. On one occasion a woman survivor from a ship was killed so that they could obtain her dress! Her husband watching from the ship was helpless. However he took them to court in Beaumaris but they were aquitted by the drunken judge!
