The SS Nornen is a Norwegian Barque shipwreck that was washed ashore, in 1897 during heavy seas, onto Berrow Beach, Somerset, UK.
After 120 years all that now remains is the wooden hull, which is only exposed at low tide and is covered in seaweed.
Over a period of several years I have visited Berrow Beach to photograph the Nornen to photograph her from all angles and in various light, at different times of the year and when the tide is forever changing.
She has been photographed many times but each visit is almost different to the last, therefore no visit is ever a disappointment and each new image will add to the series.
