Forgotten Boats at Dawn - Leigh Creek Photography

Forgotten Boats at Dawn - Leigh Creek Photography, captures the quiet drama of the Thames Estuary as first light breaks across the horizon. On this cold January morning, the sky burns with orange and violet hues, spilling colour onto the winding creek below. In the foreground, an abandoned boat, its paint flaking in shades of pink and turquoise, tells a story of time and weather. Further along, another fishing vessel glows from within as the sun pierces its empty windows, a fleeting moment where decay seems to hold a spark of life. The composition draws you inward, following the creek’s curve towards the estuary, where ships and distant structures linger at the edge of vision. This fine art photograph balances stillness with vitality: a reminder that even in dereliction, beauty endures. Printed on archival fine art paper, it offers a richly atmospheric piece of coastal wall art for collectors, evoking both melancholy and renewal
