This is the view as we walked back to Brighton/Palace Pier. You can see the carousel near the cafe we had lunch at.
The West Pier is a pier in Brighton, England. It was built in 1866 by Eugenius Birch and has been closed and deteriorating since 1975, awaiting renovation, although after two fires and several storms, little is left in situ. It was Brighton's second pier, joining The Royal Suspension Chain Pier of 1823, and it is one of only two Grade I listed piers in the UK, the other being Clevedon Pier....Wikipedia
The Brighton Wheel, also known during its planning and construction phase as the Brighton O is a transportable Ferris wheel installation erected in October 2011 on the seafront in Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Situated below the East Cliff near Brighton Pier and built with private funding, its promoters anticipate that several hundred thousand visitors per year will experience the 12-minute ride.

I took a series of shots in Brighton one evening to test my Nikon in low light. I set the shutter speed to 1/60 sec, used the widest aperture for the focal length, and then upped the ISO as far as necessary...

If you ever have to go to England, then Brighton is one of the very best places to go to. It is a vibrant, arty place where everyone with an open mind is welcome.

Most of our recent trip to Brighton was spent looking round the shops, but it was unseasonably warm, so it would have been wrong not to visit the seafront! We rather liked this colourful display on our way down to the beach!

The burnt-out ruin of The West Pier, Brighton, England, taken at sunset time, with the reflection of the structure in a calm sea.
It was built in 1866.
On 28 March 2003 the pavilion at the end of the pier caught fire. Firefighters were unable to save the building from destruction because the collapsed walkway prevented them from reaching it. The cause of the fire remains unknown. On 11 May 2003, another fire broke out, consuming most of what was left of the concert hall. The Fire re-ignited on 12 May. Arson was suspected: the West Pier Trust refers to the fires as the work of "professional arsonists".
Tim, JJ and I had a day out in Brighton yesterday, and wanted to do something a bit different. We took the Volk's railway train to Brighton Marina!
Volk's Electric Railway (VER) is a narrow gauge heritage railway that runs along a length of the seafront of the English seaside resort of Brighton. It was built by Magnus Volk, the first section being completed in August 1883, and is the oldest operating electric railway in the world. (Wikipedia)

Brighton's West Pier as seen from the i360 Observation Tower.
Somewhat of an unusual shot for me but I think it works...... Rather than try to fight the reflections created by the convex interior of the i360 I decided to 'embrace' them.

From Wikipedia : "British Airways i360 is a 162 m (531 ft) observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, East Sussex, England at the landward end of the former West Pier. The tower opened on 4 August 2016. From the fully enclosed viewing pod, visitors experience 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, the English Channel and on the clearest days it is possible to see Beachy Head 27 km (17 mi) to the east and the Isle of Wight 66 km (41 mi) to the west.
British Airways i360 was designed, engineered, manufactured and promoted by the team responsible for the London Eye. It is estimated by the developers that the i360 will generate more than 440 permanent jobs; 160 posts at the attraction, and additional jobs from the spin-off benefits to other businesses in the city. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through Brighton and Hove city council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract 739,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier. The i360 carried its 1,000,000th passenger on the 11am flight on 11 March 2019."
