Beneath the pier
On the top deck there were a few hundred people clambering for space, yet oddly there was nobody down here admiring the fences .... ....

A fine salt-encrusted fence. Now you've made it famous, expect far greater crowds when you make your Friday visits, Neil. HFF.
7 years ago.
Polyrus has replied to tiabunna club
I hope the fence now gets some attention, but not to the point of having a full restoration, or it will lose all its character.

A belated HFF to Down Under!

Rusty and crusty and some nice light on it too..!! What's not to like..??

HFF Neil :-}

Polyrus has replied to Keith Burton club
I cheated a little with this, Keith. I was on the right side (in more way than one), of the boat most of us were going on and I poked my camera through the porthole in the Gents, as I realised my artistic license was valid in Essex. Please don't tell anyone!

HFF to you too!

Keith Burton club has replied to Polyrus
.........and there was me thinking you were kneeling down in the mud and muck to get the shot..!!

Polyrus has replied to Keith Burton club
No fear. I was not that desperate to get a crusty shot!

HFF, Neil!

Polyrus has replied to Dida From Augsburg
Thank you for your observations, Dida. It would be a crime to rub it down and give it a new coat of paint ;-)

Low tide? HFF and good weekend, Polyrus
7 years ago.
Polyrus has replied to Xata club
I'm not familiar with the local tides. However, it would not take much of a swell in the sea for the water to be lapping over that deck.

Likewise to you, HFF and the best of weekends.

Rusty, crusty, and in need of some repair but I like it just the way it is, - beautiful! Love the light on it showing it off in all its glory. You have done for me now Neil - I have visions of you balancing on the loo with your camera poking out of the porthole trying for the best angle! Magic! HFF to you and have a great weekend. - Oh and please remember to put the seat down!

Polyrus has replied to Ecobird club
If your other half takes you anywhere twice, Carol. I'm sure the second time is to apologise. Your comments are so brash and I dare not tell you what happened next ;-)
However, I do appreciate your positive comments about the nice fence. Thank you.

HFF and a trouble-free weekend!

Southend is my home town ..... The Pier is a sad state of it formal glory...... You will get corrosion with the salt water, & there is much of that there..... Great image you have taken.... Have a good week !!!

Polyrus has replied to M♥rJ Photogr♥phy !!… club
Your pier is nice at both ends but it is quite a trek between the two...until they get the railway fixed. Thanks for dropping by and I hope that you have a good week too!
