River Thames: two tugs, awaiting rain.

Two tugs, Svitzer Tiger and VB Peter (Boluda Towage) at Gravesend Reach on the River Thames.

There was plenty of cloud today, some of it threatening Wagnerian cataclysm, but, as is the way in Gravesend, there was some rain but not a lot.

Sometimes, when the light and the river are just so, it can throw up some nice colouring, as, in my view, here...Svitzer Tiger is a bright orange and the dark grey of the sky and river set it off nicely, while VB Peter does the "I may be some time" bit. (It was going to meet a very bright blue gravel carrier...).
