Wet & Windy West Pie

Grew up in Brighton & watched the West Pier slowly disintegrate throughout my youth. During the process the "r" dropped off one of the old signs. I vaguely remember the council offering the Pier for sale for £1, on condition the buyer spent the £x million needed to restore it. Nobody was tempted. I couldn't keep the rain off my lense so gave up trying, hence the softness. The very dull grey sky made the sea look extra green. Huge thanks to Skeletal Mess www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/ for generous permission to use his filters.
