Weathered Wood in Walberswick.

Despite the alliterative title, all the pictures in the post weren’t actually taken in the quaint Suffolk coastal village of Walberswick.

The small coastal towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh also feature.

This post was prompted by Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge “Weathered, Burned or Burning Wood”.

I’m a few days late, but never mind! The wood will be even more weathered after the few days of wind and rain we’ve had.
