Please excuse the appalling title but I was lost for a better one and it sort of describes the scene. Another recreation using one of the preserved lifeboats housed at Chatham Historic Dockyard. I would imagine they used more than one horse to manoeuvre the carriage in and out of the sea but no matter.
I have no idea how big these boats are, but is the horse a bit small maybe?
Not a problem though, the image is stunning.
Great atmosphere as Lesley says.

In my original shot, the horse was even smaller than this so I doubled it thinking the same thing. Perhaps it was a pony ?
The lifeboat was quite large.
Thanks for looking

I nearly passed this by for some reason, but that shaft of hazy sunlight lodged in my mind. Lovely foreground colour and detail, and superb muted background. Very nice movement in the sea too, as usual.

It makes you wonder just how quickly they got this launched, with no tractors, and any wheel is a nightmare to move when on shingle. You've provided suitably ominous weather conditions for us to suppose a rescue might be required.

Blimey !! thanks Chris. I never expected votes, never mind awards, on such a sunny day. Thought everyone was on the beach. I'll bet Pamela was. Long may it continue.
