Southend Pier

HFF!

Likewise. HFF to you too!

HFF, what a distance...

A distance of 2.16 km (1.34 miles;)

HFF, Lothar

Love the caption !!!

I remember walking right to the end manyyyyyyyy years ago !

Walking to the end was the only option throughout the summer this year. Apparently it was suffering with piles,....or at least cracks on the pile caps. The trains stopped from early June and the work was scheduled to last for 12 weeks. It took a little longer, but they are now running again.
Walking the length of the pier is a real challenge when it is windy ;-)

Endless HFF!

It does appear that way, Erhard.

HFF and a nice weekend for you !

Thank you, Ulrich.

HFF and the best of weekends to you!

Lol- that's a really loooong pier- and no amusement arcades in sight! HFF, Neil!

In its time the pier has had amusement arcades, but the place seems to have had more fires than my fireplace and many structures have been razed to the deck. Not all were replaced.

HFF to you too, Gudrun.

Belle étendue !

Thank you, Didier. Have a good weekend!

I viewed large and had to peer far into the distance to see the pier end, Neil. HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

It appears your excellent eyesight is possibly making many of your peers envious ;-)

HFF George with a wish you have a happy and healthy weekend too!

That's an awful lot of fencing. HFF!

It's not all awful, Maggs and it has to be kept in good condition.

HFF and happy travelling!

Well composed. A very pleasing view. HFF.

Many thanks, John. Especially as I ignored the Rule of Thirds.

HFF!

nice one, I remember going to the end as a nipper, ISTR there was a train too?? HFF!

Thank you. According to Wiki, there has been an electric railway there since Victorian times, except during the many fires and when the railway was too dilapidated between '78 and '86.

HFF!

Fabulous atmospheric image Neil.....HFF to you!

Thanks a lot, Cheryl, but I failed to show the biting wind which was influencing the day.

HFF and I hope you are not troubled with wind this weekend.

Hahaha.....I'm always troubled with wind!!!

"Endless" fence - and back again ;-))
HFF.

Thanks for your visit, Leon.

HFF

Oh yes my friend! This a long pier ... of course. HFF and have a great weekend, Frank

Thank you, Frank....hoping you are enjoying your weekend.

Wow! That's a long pier and a long peer needed to see the end..!!

Cracking image Neil...........with a nice splash of red. HFF to you and enjoy your weekend :-)

Thank you, Keith. According to Wiki, there is no longer pleasure pier anywhere. Not on this planet, at least.
The weekend's going well so far, as I hope yours is.
Belated HFF!

Let my find that telescope - it's around here somewhere!! HFF

If you found it Scott, you will have seen a couple of hundred people weighting the other end down. They were awaiting a boat.

Belated HFF to you.

Graffic HFF Polyrus, have a nice weekend

Thank you, Xata. The weekend is now upon us and I hope you are enjoying it.

Belated HFF greetings

A very lot of water Neil

Indeed yes, Jan, and I was surprised at how much there was. Thankfully it was all on the floor.

...seems endless. Belated HFF Neil

Thank you, Lutz. I was able to find the other end ;-)

Belated HFF back at you!

Almost to infinity, A terrific shot Neil,
