The sky was very atmospheric -- it went from blue and sunny to dark and gloomy during the course of the day. I can see why Turner loved to paint here.

All Saints' Avenue, Margate. Made by artist Alex Chinneck, twisted pillar boxes (called Alphabetti Spaghetti) appeared in several locations in the UK on September 26, just four days before my visit to Margate. I would have missed it except that a nice woman saw me taking photos, asked "Have you seen our pillar box?" and pointed it out to me.

The High Street facade of the disused Primark. I'll be interested to come back in five years to see what's become of this. Luxury flats with views of Margate Bay?
