Photo-a-Day  (Saturday, 23rd June, 2012)

Mother Nature does not like docks. If they can't be washed away, blown down or otherwise disposed of, they'll be re-cycled in situ.

Judging by the state of the jetty it looks like an ailing sailing club. Good photo though. one of many shown recently.

What time of day was this taken Janice?

ISOLATION

To be alone, O God, to be alone,
And never know the touch of kindly hand;
Like some lone tree far out on barren sand
Where only nights and desert winds make moan,
Whence love and light and sympathy are flown;
To be like riven pine on blasted land,
To take no part in all earth’s struggling band,
To be alone, O God, to be alone.

To never know the common lot or part,
To hold no place in any human heart,
To pluck no flowers where love’s wide bloom is sown -
If there be hell, ’tis isolation drear,
To never know a kiss, a sob, a tear;
To be alone, O God, to be alone.

Is the landing stage safe?Looks overgrown and neglected

Good to see Leigh Pier for a change :)

Nice pic Janice.

It Looks very romantic,Janice,good photo.

Leigh Pier... Good one, Oy.:D

must we have poetry every time a picture is put on ?

Dirty Harry, if you dont like poetry then dont read it!

Well said, Jonno. I love Ernest's poems.

It was taken around mid afternoon Ernest on a fairly cloudy but brightish day. A very nice part of the Wigan Borough. Yes Dirty Harry, we should have poetry - Ernest chooses some lovely verses and one should wax lyrical about our lovely english greenery. I love it when you are grumpy! ;)

Although this looks dilapidated and overgrown (adding to it's charm in my view) it was actually quite safe and this is a thriving club - there was actually a race on but I chose this quiet scene.

Thanks Janice. You surprise me, as I thought either early or late and you had it all to yourself !!
