Brighton

(Après-surf...)

Waz gives Mickey a sloppy birthday kiss :)

It's all about hats, these days.

I just love this. It cost me doughnut and a lot of patience. Try to work out how come the pier is running parallel to the coast ;-) Nikon fixed-zoom automatic (!)

You guys liked my last Brighton seafront shot (it's my most viewed and most favourited photo on flickr) so here's another oldie I like :) Pentax ME-Super, 50mm, UV filter.

The view from the end of my road. (It's the seafront in Brighton.) This is entirely natural – no filter and the only Photoshopping was the removal of a scratch – it's a scan from a lab print. The fact that the Porsche is yellow helps a lot ;) Note too the old West Pier in the background — sadly no longer with us.

The white stone around the south coast of Britain is really striking in the summertime. Here, just outside Brighton, a track has been carved right down through them to let emergency vehicles get down to the shore.
