Lobster Pot Christmas Tree

Lobster Pot Christmas Tree
Taken using my phone yesterday afternoon in some glorious winter sunshine, on the Quayside at Emsworth Harbour, Hampshire.

These lobster pots have been donated by local businesses and residents. When the tree gets taken down the pots will be given to the local fishermen to help support Emsworth's fishing industry. At some stage Christmas carols will be sung around the tree and food will be available to enjoy, with proceeds going to charity.

I recommend viewing large, on black for best effect (and to see the lobster).

I wish you all a very enjoyable weekend, whatever the weather and whatever you are doing :-)

It looks fantastic Keith! What a great idea, and I love the lobster on top :-)
There is even a little bit of blue rope at the bottom!

A superb shot and thank you for explaining this splendid picture.

I'm glad you like this one Rosa............although I've seen this "tree" in previous years I've never been able to get a decent photo of it because the quay is also used as a car park and has picnic benches everywhere as well. This year they decided to close this part of the quay to make more room for people, which was good.

I hope you're having an enjoyable weekend.

Was für eine großartige Idee Keith..sowas wird man bei uns leider nie finden und ich wäre gerne dabei, wenn um den Baum herum gesungen und gegessen wird!
Weihnachten ist überall...und Gott sei Dank in allen Dingen!
Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Adventswochenende!

A great idea and another first Christmas shot on here for my pleasure. I have just looked up Emsworth on GE and now understand more clearly how you have so many sea/water shots. Looks like a great place for photos with all those inlets, islands and harbours.

Have a gud-un. Herb

Cheers Herb.............I don't do much Christmas stuff, so I doubt you'll see much more from me. Emsworth is a lovely town with some lovely countryside and coast. I visit quite often.

I've read on the BBC News about these types of Christmas tress. What a great idea. Carols etc. in aid of charity - couldn't be better.

PS Love the lobster supporting the star.
