Enjoy the break Xenia – loved your beautiful cloudscape. One wonders if one day we’ll have hundreds of decommissioned oil rigs 😩

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Tina. They are gradually decommissioning the rigs in the North Sea and bringing them inshore for dismantling and recycling the materials. It is seen as a positive development for wildlife and the marine environment, so fingers crossed it will turn out to be a good sign of things to come 💙🐳🐬 xxx
