I guess an item of maritime interest Roger, seems like this Bouy also makes up the sign to the entry to Combwich Pill.

5 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Many thanks Maurice, the jetties on the right were constructed for previous power stations but have been upgraded for landing equipment destined for Hinkley C, the pill itself is solely for pleasure craft these days.

Such an atmospheric image Roger !
The wooden marker buoy standing like a careful red sentinel watching the sleeping river with its lovely soft tones!

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Beatrice Degan(MARS)

Many thanks Bea after many years out in the channel it's probably relishing having a dry bottom.

Excellent photo, colors and details. I never knew they were that large!

5 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to micritter

Many thanks, like an iceberg with a good part of it underwater I would guess but then add on a light or bell to increase the height a bit more

Janet Brien ^club

WOW!!! That is so COOL!!! It's so bright and pretty and HUGE! I wonder how long it took for one of these to break down before they had to make another to take its place?

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing, what fun to see this cool old buoy!

Happy holidays!

5 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Janet Brien ^club

Many thanks Janet, I guess they were made from well treated hardwood and would have lasted a good number of years although would have needed repainting at regular intervals, but more important I wonder how many lives it helped to save in it's lifetime !
