The Northumbrian coast is littered with the remnants of World War 2 anti tank defences. This image was taken on a stormy morning before dawn on Alnmouth Beach.
Beach fencing and natural morning lighting create sand dune textures and shadows at Crescent Beach, Florida on Anastasia Island.

Alnmouth beach, Northern England.
These concrete cubes were placed on Alnmouth beach during WWII to impede the progress of any German invasion. They are very photogenic and have a brutalist nature to them. They make good hiding places for kids playing on the beach and they make handy seats for adults.
Sea defences at New Brighton and Fort Perch in the background.
This looked very unpromising on the screen but has come out better than I hoped.
Martello Tower, Eastbourne. 74 towers were built at the beginning of the 19th century to provide a strategic defence between Hastings and Beachy Head, against a possible attack and invasion attempt by Napoleon. Only 45 still stand today. No 66 of 74

The Martello Tower is visible in the top right hand corner. That was build in 1815 to keep out Napoleon.
When I came to live here in 1987, the beach was a long way down form the promenade, and accessed by steps. At high tide in stormy weather the waves came up over the seafront road.
The pebble beach was installed to prevent flooding and erosion, with tons and tons of shingle dredged up from the sea.
This photo was taken about 10 past 8 in the evening. Today's high temperature here in Seaford was 22º.
Taken on an early morning flickr meet with Norfolk Cakes and Cameras at Happisburgh, Norfolk. A wonderful morning was had by all.

The BAE Systems Typhoon FGR4 powers past in a classic side-on flyby, showcasing the clean lines and impressive performance of the Royal Air Force's frontline multirole combat aircraft.
Originally developed by a European consortium, the Typhoon entered RAF service in 2003 and has evolved from an air superiority fighter into a highly capable multirole platform. Equipped with advanced avionics, a powerful CAPTOR radar and exceptional agility, it continues to play a vital role in the defence of UK and NATO airspace while also undertaking expeditionary operations around the world.
One interesting feature of the Typhoon is its naturally unstable design. Rather than relying on inherent aerodynamic stability, the aircraft is kept under constant control by a sophisticated digital fly-by-wire flight control system, making it incredibly responsive while allowing the pilot to exploit its remarkable manoeuvrability.
The Typhoon is also capable of supercruise, meaning it can sustain supersonic flight without using afterburners under certain conditions - something achieved by only a handful of modern fighters.
Very murky on the South Coast today, with the waves testing the sea defences by the Shoreham Power Station.

An early morning shot of the beach defences at Happisburgh which are not doing the job as a lot more of the cliffs seem to have disappeared since we were last there although the cliffs do seem to consist of nothing more than mud and sand.
