Rotten barge boat at Beckton. (Low tide only)

Photograph Work Piece: Title. FlightDeck

Nearby to the barge you’ll find a closed off jetty thats become the territory of the flying only…

If your ever worked on long projects that need a little research, You’ll know how its is when your searching for clues, eventually, if you stick at it and If you ask around enough someone will have just the tip your looking for….. “Theirs this rib cage skeleton of an old wooden barge near Gallions Reach Marina” I was told… “its only fully viewable at low tide, its unaccessible by road and hidden behind private land on the north side of the Thames. You can clearly see it from the shore of Thamesmead on the opposite side” … Which seemed at first, the more readily accessible spot to shoot it from, until I realised that the Thames tow path did in fact pass the spot… You can see the Barge and the tow path here on a
Google Map Link page at near high tide.

So after some effort and several days of asking and searching I eventually found a path to that tow path and managed to get my timings near to low tide, not much room before you fall into the mud… so if your a photographer take a big wide angle.
