Driving home from a fun filled morning in Gloucester with Snoop Maddie Mad I was lucky that she dozed off just long enough for me to take some nice shots in Essex.

Thank goodness I took a pile of early morning shots earlier in the week. It’s been so damn crappy out for the past few days I wouldn’t have had a dawn pic for you.

There is considerable deterioration but I’m sure that the folks in charge of the restoration have a solid plan to stem the rot.

If you take the picture just right you can almost avoid getting all the busted planks on the lower hull in the frame. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause – contact Essex Shipbuilding Museum

Yesterday morning the colors were magenta as I fumbled to get the camera set up before the clouds and fog shifted. I finally got the lens cap off only to have the camera blink with the dead battery light and shut down. Today was redemption though.
