Three piers

What's left of the Royal Suspension Chain Pier in the foreground. What's left of it's successor and erstwhile sibling, the West Pier, at the back, and the one which essentially did for them both, the Palace Pier in the middle.

Pier points

At extreme low tides, usually just a couple of times per year, the remains of Brighton's first pier – the Royal Suspension Chain Pier – stick up through the sand (yes, sand!) on the beach, just down from New Steine. The evening scene is completed with a couple of murmurations of starlings. They seem to have been a bit put out by the decline of the West Pier, and now peripatetically appear in various places along the beach. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Royal_Suspension_Chain_Pier

Crazy ideas

Treasure hunting and swimming, in Brighton in the winter. Note the friend running down to the swimmers with a much-needed towel! :)

Murmuration

A regular evening sighting on Brighton seafront is this kind of murmuration of starlings. They seem to have been a bit put out by the decline of the West Pier, and now peripatetically appear in various places along the beach. The foreground is seen at extreme low tides, usually just a couple of times per year. It's the remains of the first pier in Brighton, the Royal Suspension Chain Pier, sticking up through the sand (yes, sand!) just down from New Steine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Royal_Suspension_Chain_Pier
