This lovely photo Regatta Day – Mersea Island by Chrissie Westgate featuring sailing barge Kitty was among the three winners of a recent photo competition run by Essex County Council.
Professionals and amateurs were asked to submit photographs portraying Essex culture, and some 97 photographers submitted a total of 131 images, and the 15 finalists.
See the finalists here and the announcement of the winners here. Many of the shots focus on the industries, events, scenery and history of the coast of Essex , and I’ve posted a few more below.
My thanks to The Barge Blog for alerting the world outside Essex!
