Very Out of Focus submit|showcase|notables|locations|comments|about|links Down By the River - 10.05.05 submitter: Smart Set location: Brentford, London, UK On this stretch of the Thames, with Kew Gardens on the far bank, there are a number of very large houseboats, some smart, some abandoned, so I wondered if there might be some mattresses in the river. The tide was out, so the river was reduced to a narrow, shallow channel with huge green, slimy mudflats on either side. The flats were littered with green, slimy, rotting boats of all sizes, usually with only the engine recognizable. Herons fished at the water's edge. I spotted this ancient mattress near a scary, derelict old houseboat. I've cloned in a close-up of the bottom corner to show the springs. I wonder what colour it was before it drowned. category: The Untouchables! comments: 3 name comment wim commented on 05.04.11 I'ld suggest green Smart Set commented on 10.13.06 Thanks.
