Thistles

Had it not been for dramatic skies and fiercely darkening seascape my blip today would have been a crane or a skip, something of a departure for me. The crane may show up another time as I found out today you can go on a trip to the top of it, even abseil off it. I like a challenge, within reason. Abseiling is not my idea of reason. Or fun.

Sadly my shots of the leaden sea and skies looked pretty leaden themselves. But I'd stopped by a hedgerow and the tops of the thistles were catching the low light. In the end I liked them best.
