The idea of the Scavenger Hunt was to start with a list of words supplied by Gill, and your task was to walk the area with camera in hand and match what you see, to the list of supplied words. Open to interpretation, and nothing is really wrong - just your viewpoint matters. It`s great fun and certainly makes you observe your surroundings very carefully. The first image is in fact not in the hunt for me, although some people used it. It is in fact a Thames Barge returning from the Pin Mill annual barge race on the previous day.

Image 1: Person in the landscape. I thought she fitted the bill but I must confess it was initially the dog which attracted me.
Image 2: Nice easy one in that area - Ship or boat.
Image 3: Natural and man made
Image 4: Repetition - railings and containers.
Image 5: Curves or lines
Image 6: Part of something
Image 7: Historic or old - easy with the old fort next to you!
Image 8 & 9: I cheated a bit here and combined two images - Colour and Plant Life
Image 10: As Gill had missed a number, some of us put an extra one in of our own. Mine was this Linnett on the bushes nearby.
And to finnish off, a view of the activity which take place in one of the countries larges container ports all the time. Two large container ships.
