Still in Littlehampton! Lovely dawn air with a hint of mist and a low tide. So I couldn’t resist these abstracty patterns along the beach as well as watching the early birds getting the worms…or other foodstuffs found in the sand!

It was a calm spring evening, and a nice light from the low sun shining through hazy clouds. So I snapped a few shots with the boat in the corner and gulls filling the sky.

When I got home there were loads of indistinguishable dots in the sky that were blurry far away seagulls. So I cloned them out in Photoshop leaving only the one that you see against a nice clean sky.

West Pier remains…

Evening view of the shingle beach at Brighton, East Sussex, England.

An hour or two before sundown. I wanted people to walk along the beach and jump up and down creating nice silhouetted shapes against the evening sky…but, alas they were too busy relaxing! Although there was one man with a metal detector continuously going up and down the beach sweeping his metal detector over places that had recently been vacated in the hope of some dropped coins……but he was nowhere to be seen….He’d made his money, perhaps?

West Pier is a Victorian era pier that burnt down leaving the empty shell that now sits rusting just off the shoreline. It is probably the most photographed structure in Brighton, and so with camera in hand I thought I’d better record my interpretation too.
