Flying the flag.

Flying the flag.
An old favourite subject for me in these Beach Huts. These here at Saltburn-on-Sea show the modern trend towards plastics. At least they still follow the tradition of bright colours. Of course all were closed in these days of Covid restrictions, with not a single visitor, but at least the Union Flag still flies happily.

Enjoy full screen.

Thanks Jaap. Yes the colours hit you in the eye!
You might notice that these are made of plastic -not wood.

Keep safe. Herb

I really thought they were made of wood, like I know them here in the Netherlands.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Jaap van 't Veen club
Ah yes -I thought that, and they do look very realistic, that was why I reluctantly did not enter them into your invited ''Wooden Architecture' group. I thought some members might not have been very happy on discovering this was all plastics :)
Just a note - fortunately, most of our beach-huts around the country are very traditional and still made of wood as shown below from nearby Whitby - Many thanks for your second call here.

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
Well there is that for sure Toz. The huts have had the colours dyed into the plastic and so need of future painting. Not at all sure about the environmental impact with these though, so apart from making nice pictures, I don't think I agree totally with them.

I love beach huts too Herb. I would never have known they were not wood! It's a good idea and much less maintenance! Another lovely shot with the addition of the flag. Cheers, Rosa.

Beautiful colourful huts, Herb. Had you not told us, I'd never have guessed that these are plastic!

Herb Riddle club has replied to tiabunna club
Yes, you can only tell when you get very close to them. At least they add colour and are appreciated by tourist and renters alike.

In plastic!
Great idea for easier and cheaper maintenance
But I admit that they are not as pleasant as the wood ones in terms of texture and temperature
Wonderfully shown, Herb!

Herb Riddle club has replied to J.Garcia club
Ha Judite, in that, I have to agree with you here. However, I have seen inside some of these when open and they looked quite comfortable. I think I would want real wood!

Keep safe. Herb

I do like a nice beach hut..............and these are especially nice with those vibrant colours and the union flag!

I'm on the fence about the uPVC cladding though..............it makes them look as if they're constructed of Lego bricks! I suppose it's all to do with saving money on future maintenance.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks for joining us here Keith. Great that like me you enjoy seeing beach huts. Got to agree with your comparison to Lego bricks and yes, they must be far cheaper to maintain and possibly produce too. Will they last as long though -I rather think not.

Keep safe. Herb

Ah, I've been hiding in the background helping with the ima team. Makes time for perusing photos harder.

The group is mine. We have so many groups here, it isn't a surprise you hadn't seen it before. Thanks for sharing your photo to the group. I hope you enjoy seeing what else is in the group. I think it's a fun peruse.

peace.

Los colores de las casetas aportan un motivo a la fotografía y el otro esa uniformidad que se puede tomar en perspectiva con un buen fondo, como en esta foto. Que sean de plástico especulo que no serán saludables para respirar dentro, en un día soleado.

Herb Riddle club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
Nice to see you again Jose and very happy that you have enjoyed the scene. I agree, I would not like to be in there with the door closed but I think they would always be open when visitors arrive.

Regards and keep safe. Herb
