Martello Tower

Summary

A slightly warped perspective from a bridge leading into a Martello tower. The circular tower courtyard seems to surround the viewer, its edges leading off either side of the canvas. Pale whites, ochres and dark browns dominate the canvas. The location has been identified as Slaughden, just south of Aldeburgh in Suffolk. That tower is now referred to as Tower CC.
