Cliche' shot of the pinmill at Bodnant
This is a view of some of the decaying beached boats which sit on the banks of the River Orwell at Pin Mill. This is one of the images I turned into a 'fine art' style, an example of which is here: www.flickr.com/photos/201356701@N08/54162539437/in/datepo...
This shows the yachts on the river and the far bank, along with some of the completely decayed ruins.
Pin Mill is a hamlet on the south bank of the tidal River Orwell, on the outskirts of the village of Chelmondiston, Suffolk. It lies within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a designated Conservation Area. It is now generally known for the historic Butt and Oyster public house, and for sailing.
The expression "pin mill" means a pin factory, and also a word for a wheel with projecting pins used in leather production. Neither of these activities are known to have taken place at Pin Mill.
Pin Mill was once a busy landing point for ship-borne cargo, a centre for the repair of Thames sailing barges and home to many small industries such as sail making, a maltings (now a workshop) and a brickyard. The east coast has a long history of smuggling, in which Pin Mill and the Butt and Oyster pub allegedly played key parts.
This is an aerial view of some of the decaying beached boats which sit on the banks of the River Orwell at Pin Mill. While waiting for the tide to come in I sent the drone up to get some aerial images which gives a totally different view of the scene.

This image has been edited to give a sunrise look. It actually was not long after a decent sunrise but the tide was out at that time so I have edited this one to give that sort of look.
You may have noticed that I have added a number of 'fine art' views of the amazing boat graveyard at Pin Mill in Suffolk. The fine art views do not give a clue as to what the place actually looks like. With this in mind I present this image which shows the venue in all its glory.
The whole idea of visiting Pin Mill was to capture some images that I could try to turn into this fine art style. You can clearly see here the amount of debris left by boats that have almost been totally reclaimed by nature. For the fine art versions all of this debris needed to be removed, along with the far bank and the bobbling boats and buoys on the river.
As you can imagine, some of these edits take many hours to complete but personally I feel that they are worth the effort and, indeed, have a couple printed large and placed on my wall.
To show what a difference the 'fine art' versions of this scene portray you can view a couple of them here:
