What to do when they close the Blackwall Tunnel?????
Well today traffic was a nightmare and whilst heading out of London I managed to get snarled up in a huge traffic Jam due to the Blackwall Tunnel being shut southbound.
The traffic reports were stating that the A13 and all other routes out of London were congested and delays were going to be long. So instead of having nothing to look at but the car in front I decided to head to the river and sit out the long wait. Since I had the camera in the back of the car I knew I would not be that bored whilst waiting for the workman to repair the manhole in the southbound tunnel.
Here is a pano from the area I ended up at which is a nice quite out of the way place with a cafe.

So when traffic is against you do the best thing and waiting it out find a road you have never been down before and have a mini adventure in to the unknown.
Dungeness Point.
Dungeness is littered with fishing boats and sheds used by the fisherman, It is a vast shingle bank that produces great images when the weather is on your side.
Wandering around the shingle banks amid the beached fishing boats and the hulls of the derelict and dishevelled vessels of years gone by your attention is grabbed by shapes, colours and patterns that are everywhere.
This vessel has not seen the water for years and I doubt if it will ever again, paint fading and peeling away and the deck slowly rotting.
Also to be found along the beach are the hand winches and mechanical winches that have been used over the years to drag the vessel back on to the safety of the shingle once the days fishing has been completed and it is time to return home.
