HFF from Swanage.

HFF from Swanage.
The Victorian clock tower and seating along the promenade in Swanage, next to Banjo Jetty. There is a clock on 2 sides. A shame about the wheelie bins, but at least they are symmetrical!

Marije Aguillo, Gabi Lombardo, Peter_Private_Box, micritter and 42 other people have particularly liked this photo

Yes, things in pair are more sweet, ok, half of us think that way.
Here anyway the balance of forms and lines seems to help peace.
Maybe they were cleverer than we sought tose Victorians...
If you see any of them tell him please I have sent a hug.

To be honest the bins do not detract from this pretty scene Rosa, - I did not even notice them until I read your notes. I haven't been to Swanage for years so this is a lovely reminder. It is nice that the little shelter with the Victorian clock tower is still well cared for as it is an attractive feature on the sea front. A super shot.

HFF and have a good weekend

Oooh, this is much posher looking that the ones on Southsea sea front Rosa! I love the little clock tower especially. It looks splendid in the sunshine.

The bins don't particularly bother me either.............they're pretty much a fact of life nowadays.

Have a good weekend.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It's the clock tower that makes this one special Keith. I haven't seen another like it!
You are right about the bins. I do curse them sometimes though!!

Estupenda composición y distribución de los elementos. Además de la torre, con su forma y colores, me gusta ese horizonte marino. Los cubos no afean la foto para nada, además, como dices guardan cierta simetría. Afearía que estuvieran sus contenidos por los suelos.
Buen viernes y fin de semana, Rosa.

Belated HFF, Rosa !
A lovely little clock tower whose (majorelle) blue replaces the absent ones of the sea and the sky! Like the ochre of the floor replaces that of the sand ;-)
The symmetry of the bins indeed completes the symmetry of your charming photo!
Good Sunday to you my friend.

An unusual architecture .... almost a small Chinese temple!!!!
For once, the wheelie bins do not harm the whole thing too much: as you say, they respect symmetry: the garbage collector is undoubtedly an artist, why not???!!!!!!!!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nouchetdu38 club
A couple of people have mentioned the resemblance to a Chinese temple, which I now notice :-)
Oh yes, the much needed garbage collector surely is an artist ;-))

 Amelia
Amelia club
So typical of an English seaside resort. We saw some like this, without the clocks, in Llandudno, but they were nowhere as near so well maintained. A great place to watch either the sea or the people on a windy or rainy day.
Belated HFF - and maybe an early HBM, Rosa.

You're right Amelia, seen in many coastal towns around the UK. Also a good place to shelter from the sun, when it appears.
Thank you and have a good new week.
