Worthing is the 6km stretch of coast between the Yacht Club and Lancing Beach Green. The
large, densely populated town of Worthing is at risk of flooding and overtopping due to the close
proximity of both residential and commercial properties to the beach with the main road, A259,
running parallel to the beach for the whole frontage (Arun to Adur Strategy, 2011). The beach is
mixed shingle sand at +5.7 mOD and a crest varying between 22 m and 40 m with a slope of 1 in
7 to 1 in 10, which flattens towards the beach toe.

Early morning on the coast at Cramond... somewhere was getting a great sunrise... it wasn't here!
These are old wartime defences built to prevent U-boats from traversing the forth channel. They only become visible at lowtide, leading out to Cramond Island.
Robin said the structures look like giant hands praying. In all my time visiting here I've never noticed that before, but they completely do!
Best viewed larger.

Sea defence work being carried out in Lancing, this was needed to be done for many weeks now but work has now been done just in time before the second named storm Jocelyn comes through tomorrow. When the digger was working there was a narrow stretch of beach between the digger and a house which would have been in danger of larger waves coming in through their windows, hopefully i`ll get a chance to nip down there again tomorrow.
The digger drive stopped working for me while I took a few shots .
Loving the detail brought out by the low light and the fingers through the cloud around the sun. My last image from our little trip, honest!
Black and white image taken on the beach at Overstrand on the north Norfolk coast showing the incoming tide swirling around the old sea defences.
A stormy day at Ness Point in Lowestoft...the most easterly point of mainland UK. The long exposure was tricky given that I needed to hang on to the tripod to stop it blowing over.
Another day (our last on the west coast of Hokkaido), another tetrapod sea defence. I don't do so many dramatic, high-contrast black and white images anymore, but this scene seemed to call for it.
From the archives: Hokkaido, Japan, 2019.
I wrote a blog post if you'd like to know more about the trip to Hokkaido. As well, if you'd like, take a look at all my images from two trips to Japan.
More sea defences at New Brighton. The tide was dropping fast at this point, so I only had time for a few shots. This was my favourite, where I got in close to the concrete structures to accentuate the perspective.
Dipping into the archives again, I found this image of a sea defence along the coast.
Fukui province, Japan.
A narrow road beside the rocks and fence link the La Have Islands to the mainland. The the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Another from my night at Cramond.
Thought the tide would just be dropping at sunset but it wasn't quite ready yet so had to make do with a shot from above but maybe a slightly different take to the normal viewpoint.
Apologies to the couple that I set up next to who were enjoying a moment to themselves.
Two exposures taken with the B&W ten stop and blended together in Photoshop. I have left quite a lot of the cast in here as the B&W can add quite a nice colour when not so much is happenning.

A second image from my trip at the weekend. I probably should have uploaded this one first as it's taken half an hour earlier and is the first image using my new Lee filters. I know I tried the 0.6 medium ND grad first so this is probably one of those. Note to self... make a note next time!
I've gone for the desaturated look just to make it different from my previous upload and it's a fair reflection on my general condition - late night film coupled with early set-off time - not the best of preparations!
