Second attempt!
Hi Debi
I like your moody shot very much. I used to live at nearby Benfleet, Essex and often walked from there to Leigh on Sea along the levy and often witnessed dramatic and lovely cloud formations, especially in the area of Hadleigh Castle.
Your photo has rekindled nice memories for me. Thanks much indeed.
