Mumbles, Gower Peninsula.
The sea defences, built 120 years ago, are being repaired and raised to protect from flooding. Work, which is due to complete in 2024, can only be done at low tide!
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.

My hometown Windhoek has a high crime rate, unfortunately. People do their best to protect their property. Bougainvillea plants have very pretty flowers…but nasty thorns too.
Happy Friday, everyone!

This shot almost cost me a 100 quid. I hadn't yet bought a Lee adaptor for my recently acquired lens. I haven't done any long exposures in a while and so never got round to it, but when I saw these defences I thought I might give it a go. Without the adaptor I first tried holding the filter to the lens, but this of course caused too much shake. Next I tried hanging the holder off the end, and (somewhat inevitably) it fell to the floor. Twice. Fortunately it only chipped a small corner off. I began to wonder how badly I wanted the shot, but you know how it is, when you get something in your head you have to go through with it. Then I struck upon the idea of using a bit of chewing gum. It held just long enough, and after half a dozen attempts I had my shot. Phew.

This is another shot taken right at the edge of the beach, just below the promenade at New Brighton.
The third 25 of my 2020 100x project, where x=plant defences and protection - all from home except the Horse Chestnut found nearby, more protection than defence with just a few prickles and spines...

Berwick was captured or sacked 13 times before 1432 when it fell into the hands of the English - in its Elizabethan Town Walls that were built to keep the invading Scots out of the town. Built in 1558, the walls were the most expensive building project of England's Golden Age.
From the top of these walls you can take in some spectacular views over the wide estuary of the River Tweed including Stephenson's famous viaduct bridge, hailed as one of the finest in the world.
