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.
My first visit to Felixstowe to capture these concrete sea defences. A popular subject for LE mono work.

Please have a look at my albums:
After waiting for a few years, the old sea defence at Caister has revealed itself from below the sand.
The somewhat dilapidated sea defences at Happisburgh on the Norfolk Coast. 20sec exposure in reasonably rough seas.
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.

Yeah.
Credit to pat for inspiration and rails, Beck for rail shading.
Spearhead defence is taking on members, if you fancy trying out feel free, the style is pretty easy to get along with, futuristic/modern weapons, with a slight cyber punk mix,
Early morning frost on breakwater.

These groynes could really do with a little TLC. Although the seagulls don't seem to worry about the state they are in.
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.
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.
