Salmon pink and Royal blue

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 19 October 2012 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

Just some scrap fish thrown out for the local anglers to use as bait.
Found this across the River Tyne from South Shields at the fish quay on the north side.
Colourful and smelly :-)
