polders

An infrared shot of some of the posts from the polder scheme at East Mersea this morning - they're supposed to help trap sediment and stop errosion, although I think these ones failed and have been abandoned.

I took a custom white balance from some vegetation on the shore - and this colour was the result. I rather like it.

If you're wondering why I've taken so many IR shots recently - partly it's playing with a new toy... but mainly it's because there hasn't been a decent sunrise for weeks! It's either been overcast or, like today, clear skies apart from a heavy bank of cloud right along the horizon. Most depressing
