Boredom and/or insanity slowly creeping up at a rate during this "lockdown" I'm prowling about the house armed with a camera looking for a likely subject and out the front window I spied this scene, nothing dramatic or exciting but that's Little Clacton for you and this is about as exciting as it gets.

Warner Bros Studio Tour London.

I know it's childish escapism but I like it, the tour of the studio seeing the props right up close is fantastic, the attention to detail is unreal.

Abandoned

Abandoned gun emplacements, Derek Anson, photographer, essex, ex MOD,


Ex MOD property that was abandoned in the 1960s, some parts of the site date back to the 16th century. The site has now been bought by a couple of local people who are in the process of setting up a trust fund and reclaiming the site from nature with a view to restoring the buildings and opening up the site as a museum.
