A Trip to East Lane, Bawdsey, Suffolk - 28th November 2004

There's a Sunday drive with DH over to the coast of Suffolk near Bawdsey to take photos simply for the sake of taking photos. It's a bit of a grey day, but the general bleakness of the area suits the light somehow. This part of the coast takes in several Martello Towers, and some World War Two gun emplacements.
