- Description:
- Looking over the water through fog at small buildings and a small boat being taken out of the water. The water reflects the clouds in the sky, and both are echoed by the line of fog in the middle of the image. On the left side of the image are sparse trees behind a rough plank pier, balanced in the image's composition by reedy plants on the lower right leading to posts supporting boat storage. Between them is a low building with a peaked fabric roof, walled in thin pieces of wood.There are two people working separately, one dressed in white, the other in black.
- Notes:
- Framed platinum print from the book 'Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads.'
