Rainbow retainer
This is a retaining bracket used to hold a railway sleeper in place. Its clearly been in place for a long time, and doubtless has served numerous times the fisherman unloading their catch at Dungeness beach. This is a strange location, but one I've photographed many times. On first arrival it appears to all be a uniform colour tone - a dullish green/beige, except for the occasional white boat stored on the stoney beach. Yet when you look closer an array of bright contrasting colours reveals itself, as in this image, right below my feet. The lighting was fortunate, with low angle late afternoon sunlight dappling the decaying metal. In this kind of colourful detail lies the photographic allure of Dungeness, and its the reason I'll likely return many more times in the future.
