One of Aldeburgh's restored, 19th century fishing boats pulled up on the shingle beach in Aldeburgh, Suffolk is in the foreground. In the background, one of today's working boats, a blue fishing boat with a white cabin, on the right and boat sheds on the left. The sky is very blue and there are long, afternoon shadows on the shingle. This is a horizontal image, featuring two boats.
