The old coal barge

A trip out with my local camera club took us to a country park where we were guided as to what birdlife there was to see. It was a good turnout and we madde the best of the awful weather conditions, one moment sunshine and the next rain! As we headed back to the carpark I took a shot of this old coal barge which has caught my eye on many of my previous visits. It is slowly rusting away and will probably no last for many more years. From what I can gather from the information board it was a horse drawn barge, a little awkward to get the right angle so to avoid the fencing and I had the thoughts of processing it as a black and white, but with the tones being very similar the conversion looked very flat. So boosted the colours etc in photoshop and I am quite pleased with the result.
