Make Me Smile! HFF!

Make Me Smile!  HFF!
A Burnham on Sea sunset with the pier in the foreground. The amusements might make some people happy but the sunset over the bay is what makes me smile

I wish you all plenty of smiles and a very happy weekend, HFF!

A sunset like that will make anyone smile Carol! It's a real beauty! Sophie was there recently with her parents and won something fluffy in the arcade....not sure what it was though ;-)) Anyway, she was pleased! HFF and wish you and your family a good Easter weekend.

Thank you very much Rosa. I am pleased you like it. It sounds as if Sophie was happy with her visit too!! The arcades can be a real draw for children and teenagers. My grandson used to love them but at 17 he is all grown up and has a girlfriend now

Hi Carol
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition
Great colours too.
The only thing those amusement arcades amuse is very tiny minds!
Some of us like more sophisticated things!!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice Easter weekend, and stay safe!!

I don't think it claimed to be a pier when I used to cycle down there to watch the sunsets sixty years ago. A lovely one you have photographed here.
Later. I just looked at my book of 'Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge in Old Photographs'. It was originally called The Pavilion.
2 years ago. Edited 2 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Phil Sutters club
Thank you very much Phil. Really appreciated, and you are right in that it was known as The Pavilion'

It is listed as England's shortest pier, - it says it all that you didn't think it was listed as one!!!
It is still in good condition though which is more thatn can be said for the sadly dilapidated Birnbeck Pier in Weston. Hopefully it will eventually be renovated!

Have a good Easter
2 years ago.
Phil Sutters club has replied to Ecobird club
I can't find it here now, but I have recalled the time I was temporarily marooned out on Birnbeck, while visiting a couple of clients when I was a trainee social worker. They ran the café and lived above it, until the husband lost his second leg to gangrene and they had to live in the steamer ticket office. The tide was high and the wind was blowing and I had to stay there for a couple of extra hours until things calmed down a bit.

Ecobird club has replied to Phil Sutters club
What a great story Phil. It must have been a little hair-raising!! I can remember a trip from there as a child, and the cafe. It is so sad to see it now but hopefully something will be down to restore it before it becomes too bad to restore.

Diese Amusement Piers in England fand ich schon immer sehr merkwürdig :-) Ich hatte so ein Pier das erste Mal als junger Mann in Felixtow gesehen. Jetzt höre ich die Kinder schreien, die Geldmünzen in den Maschinen rollen und die Flippergeräte Klingeln... Die Musik von Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel passt wunderbar dazu. Bei mir klingt in diesem zusammenhang noch dieser Song im Ohr www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQfidTOTsLo Danke für den Reminder :-))
