Twin sails



The British summer appears to have abandoned us over the past week, with wind and rain dominating the weather. Not that such conditions deter me when I feel the need to shoot - I just have to choose the right subject.

The Twin Sails lifting bridge that spans the Backwater Channel in Poole harbour, Dorset, is currently out of comission due to a mechanical fault. As a result the bridge is closed to traffic and the two bascules are set in the "up" position to allow the free movement of boats. Until repairs are effected I exploit the opportunity to explore various angles, without the risk of being knocked down by impatient motorists.
