Taken from the 16.09 London Bridge to Brighton train. Field after field of daffodils or should I say 'a host of golden daffodils'. And another field of sheep (the white blobs). What could be more English?
NB: A tad blurry but I was on a train and probably travelling at 100mph.
"My dad, my hero. Ever since I was a tiny tot I have been close with my dad. He and I go together like peas and carrots. He leads and I follow. I follow him when we forage on land, and I follow him when we forage in water. I follow him when we fly. He teaches and I learn. Together we find the best bugs and critters ever!
Once I tried to show him how much fun it was swimming and diving in cottonwood fluff covered water, and that he should try it too. But he just wanted to concentrate on feeding. Adults can sometimes be boring."

This is the beach side of the perimeter road just in front of where the Jumpin’ Jeannie’s are holding their class.
I stopped to take a photo of the ‘Black Rock Beach Life’ sign with the all clutter parked around it. The guy stepped off the beach just as I was clicking but I didn’t have time to get him fully in the frame. He completely coordinated with the rest of the picture.
The Brighton Eye
Brighton used to have a Brighton Eye the same as this one but it had to go when Brighton and Hove City Council agreed a deal with British Airways to build the i360 on the site of the old West Pier. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through B&H City Council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract up to 800,000 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.
In June 2018, disappointing visitor numbers forced the owners to ask B&H City Council and the LEP for better loan repayment terms. The local paper reported that "in the first full year, from August 2016, the i360 had just over 500,000 visitors, significantly fewer than the 800,000 predicted." The shortfall in visitors was blamed on “poor weather and the unreliable train service to and from London”.
The i360 made a loss of more than £5 million last year, the latest financial reports have revealed. B&H City Council are now owed almost £48 million as the attraction suffered another successive year in the red.
Wheelchair access to the beach ;-)))
I was talking to the contractors today about their constructions and they explained they were building wheelchair access to the beach. There is to be a open sitting area by Black Rock with a wheelchair accessible path leading to the beach access.
A dramatic New York City sunset casting golden light behind the iconic Empire State Building and the leaning towers of the American Copper Buildings. Shot from the East River, the skyline forms a bold silhouette against the glowing sky, capturing the moment when architecture and atmosphere align.
a young woman leans against stone and time, lost in the softness of a book, while the silhouette of rebellion watches over her shoulder. a silent tension hangs in the frame—between icons and identities, between thought and gesture.
Walking along the undercliff path I saw Vicki and Rowan laughing and playing in the morning sun. A perfect start to my day.

I’m presuming the owner refused to sell so the developers built around him. There is a similar block of houses next to this block but it hasn’t got any ‘remainers’.
Fabulous mural by an artist with the tag #glimmertwin
"Hi again you fine folks! This photo of me was taken a month ago but I still look the same. I am curious, goofy and sometimes MIA (missing in action). I try to follow ALL the cues my parents and also my sister gives me but at times, the grass or garden plants are irresistible...and I am like "Wait, what, are we leaving right now?"

One pretty big barge called Destiny being guided through from the inner harbour, through the marina lock on its way out to sea and, with fair weather, to a mooring on the Thames.
a man steps into the light, his shadow stretching further than his thoughts. the lonja stands silent, its walls soaked in centuries, its doors heavy with time. outside, the world moves fast. inside, the air lingers, waiting for the last visitor to leave.
"Here my little sister is showing how you're supposed to take a fresh wiggly worm from mom's bill. She was like born to do this and knew exactly where to grab any kinds of insects offered, but I... I had to practice many times until I figured it out!
I sometimes felt sorry for her though because she would sink into the soft mud almost ankle deep and wondered why she didn't have awesome flippers like mine. Those would have helped her."

(What looks like a backward-bending knee is, in fact, the bird’s ankle. The knees are located close to the body and covered with feathers.)
captured at the urban intersection of museo de escultura al aire libre in madrid under the causeway Eduardo Dato, where modern architecture meets the flowing lines of sunlight. a solitary man moves through the rigid structures of the city, yet his shadow stretches freely across the ground. the fractured shadow lines and sharp contrasts highlight the scene’s symmetry and dynamism, while the interplay of light and darkness reflects the duality of freedom and confinement in an urban environment.
This path will be the longest coastal path in the world when it is finished. It will go all around the coast of England and will be around 2,795 miles long when it is complete.

I hoped to take a photo of the Amex Stadium as it came out of the afternoon fog but unfortunately it was completely shrouded when I got there.
So I went over to check out Falmer Ponds which looked eerie but beautiful when I arrived. The pond was partly frozen over and the ducks and geese were sliding across it as they landed. The foggy scene was lite up by a vivid orange sun going down behind the trees resulting in some perfect duck reflections.
a woman wrestles with her storm-wrecked umbrella, caught mid-movement, while a man watches from the edge of shadow — still, observant, immovable. two strangers, side by side, each within their own storm.
beneath the clinical grid of a city’s infrastructure, a man moves through shadow with the slow elegance of repetition. there’s no urgency — just the rhythm of necessity, carried in cardboard and plastic.
I’d love to know what the antennae on the sides of the cabin are?
The graffiti artists are getting lots of practice.
The Morris Minor Traveller was launched in 1952 as a new variant of the original Morris Minor saloon from 1948. The iconic vehicle with its unique ash wood frame was originally supplied with an 800cc engine and a split front windscreen but in 1956 they replaced it with a one piece and a new 950cc engine. A symbol of its era normally driven in films by vicars and members of the village WI it ceased production in 1971 after 180,000 had been produced.
See the rest of the Brighton Street series so far:
Nature at its best. This tree looked like it had been blown over in a storm but had secured it branches lower down the hill and carried on growing. Survival of the fittest.
NB: This pic was taken in Knowle Park, Sevenoaks BUT 6 of the 7 Oak trees that gave Sevenoaks its original name were blown down in the Great Storm of 1987. Sevenoaks became just oneoak!!

The lock gates were open to allow the boat from my last photo through. It meant I could capture a perfect reflection of the still blue water, the cliffs, the walls of the lock and the huge contraption which lifts the boats out of the water and into the dry dock and the Marina boatyard. Not sure what it’s called but I’ll ask.
