The weather was very kind today. Warm but not hot, a light warm breeze and all topped of with blue skies.
After being cancelled in 2020 and 2021 the Brighton Marathon took to the road once again with an estimated 10,000 runners. Three races - the cycle race starting about 6 am; the 10 k starting at 9 am and the actual marathon supposed to start at 9.45 am but ran late because the 10k runners were still on the road.

I was crossing over Marine Parade when I saw these 3 hi-viz workmen sitting in the bus shelter and thought what a lovely Brighton frame it made. There were another two workmen on the seats behind and a further one on the side. I noticed them from the central reservation and took a couple of shots before I crossed over to them. I think I took them by surprise when I asked to take their photo and having taken it asked their names.

Fotografie einer urbanen Straßenszene bei Sonnenuntergang im analogen Filmlook. Die warme goldene Stunde wirft lange Schatten auf den nassen Asphalt, in dem sich ein leuchtendes rotes KODAK-Leuchtschild spiegelt. Menschen überqueren die Straße, klassische Autos fahren durch das Bild. Die Szene wirkt nostalgisch, körnig und filmisch – inspiriert vom Retro-Charme der analogen Fotografie.
And his owner - Scott
I walked around the marina this morning and met Scott out with Jip his Harris Hawk. His services have been used by the Marina management for the last few years to scare the birds away from sitting on the boats ;-(((. It’s good that he’s been coming in the mornings as he doesn’t get to scare the starlings away;-)))
The duck population must be declining so badly that they've filled the park with little plastic ones......
I usually post images of the abandoned and derelict areas around Black Rock but there are some pretty gardens and walks. So today I’m posting nature on Black Rock.
The areas that I've walked in this summer have been remarkably short of butterflies, bees and insects in general. Then last week as I walked across Kemp Town gardens on Black Rock this Fatsia Japonica bush was alive with all of the missing insects from the summer and they were happy posing for my photographs. The stars of the show were the Red Admiral Butterflies which were on most of the flowers along with chubby bees, sparkly greenflies, tiny insects and these little stripy fellas which I decided were wasps but I wasn't sure. They certainly enjoyed annoying the butterflies.
I was told by a Flickr friend Gary, who specialises in photographing butterflies, that these are red admirals and the south coast is their last stop in the UK en route to the warmer climates in Europe.
The inner harbour is full of tiny little fishes which can easily be seen when the sun is shining on the water.
2 of 3 wildlife shots while on a walk and shoot - didnt noice the water droplet until the edit - sometimes better to be lucky than good
The late afternoon sky was full of black clouds so the usual 1,000's of starlings weren't gathering on the masts to murmur. I only had my iPhone but I thought I'd capture a few shots and as I did the sky seemed to catch fire......... quite beautiful, even with my iPhone.
At least I’m just looking out of the window at it. Feel for the people who are out in it. Especially the rough sleepers.
One minute I was photographing sleet through the car windows, then black clouds turning to black and orange, and finally an orange sunset.
I love it when I get to Brighton Station to catch a train and I can hear somebody playing the piano. I love it even more when I have time to take some photo's of the pianist.
Meet Alex - a college student waiting for a train home. I thought he'd tell me he was studying music but no he's studying Computer Studies and Technology. He's played the piano for many years.

i was walking through palma's narrow streets when i stumbled upon this scene—a clash of beauty and rebellion etched into the walls of a city that has seen it all. to the left, a face once perfect, defaced by frustration or art, a silent cry against ideals. to the right, the untouched—immaculate and unreachable. between them, a man lost in the glow of his screen, unaware of the stories around him, yet perfectly placed. he leans like a bridge, a balance of the raw and the refined. palma breathes this contrast—between what is perfect and what we dare to question.
Sea fishing looked a bit cold this morning but no problems with buying permits or social distancing.
Coronavirus - the way out of lockdown series
As usual I heard them all singing before I saw them. A beautiful chorus. It was the 9th August and they used to spend the winter on the boats at sunset. For the last few years I can't work out why they're only in the harbour for a few days and then disappear. I discovered why last night when there was a loud bang and they flew away on mass. It sounded like a gun to frighten them.
Ace Café London put out a call for all petrol heads to join them on Madeira Drive where they presented the 10th InCarNation annual event. The day featured racers, tuners, car clubs and motor clubs from across the country.
The play of light and shadow moves like a living rhythm through the forest — a fleeting moment caught in motion, where the calm of the trees meets the blur of passing time.
Fun fact
Did you know that pine forests like this one are designed by nature to let sunlight reach the forest floor? Their tall, slender trunks and sparse canopy create shifting light patterns that change with every hour of the day.
Absorbed in our devices, with our gazes lost, are we able to see each other anymore? Or have WE become the mannequins, just there to be looked at but without being really there?

When I first passed by these lads sitting outside Asda I decided it was far to busy to stop and take their photo. On my return the path was clear and I noticed their Just Eat outfits and bags matched the Halloween advert on the wall behind them. Perfect.
No I didn't go to the Chelsea Flower Show. I tried it once and found it far to expensive, crowded and overwhelming for me. Instead I went to Chelsea in Bloom and Belgravia in Bloom. A train to Victoria and then wandering the streets admiring and photographing to my hearts content.
My morning walk was round the harbour wall this morning and, being a lovely morning, it was busy with fishermen. I was talking to this guy about his bait which I think he said was lugworms. I asked if it was ok to take a photo of them and him and he talked about getting one to smile and then decided to show me the worms large teeth......... all a bit much first thing in the day.
When I took this shot I found separating the leaping girl from the background hotel quite challenging. In the end it was easier to use a posterize filter in post process. I'm not a lover of post processing but it did the job here.
The boardwalk was opened today, on time, by the Major of Brighton and Hove. Lovely bright, fluffy cloud weather for colour photography but gales force winds made sure nobody lingered.

The usually crowded Piazza is deserted while Brighton is in lockdown.
This area under Brighton’s BA i360 is known as the Piazza. It was designed to be an area dedicated to the heritage of the West Pier, celebrating the piers unique personality and charm.
The twenty-four cast-iron columns now standing within The Piazza, east of the British Airways i360, were originally part of the substructure of the West Pier.
captured on the steps in front of mercat de l'olivar in palma, this image reveals a simple, intimate moment in the bustling heart of the city. three individuals, lost in their thoughts and enjoying a quick bite, embody the quiet pauses in our everyday life that often go unnoticed. the interplay of light and shadow highlights their contemplative expressions, creating a story told in whispers of calm amid the urban rush. the strong contrasts and subtle emotions evoke a sense of shared solitude, making this scene timeless and relatable.
One of the few remaining Victorian staircases from Madeira Drive to Marine Parade tagged from top to bottom by what can only be kids. A lot of it is chalk so will wash of in the rain.
The Brighton Festival launched today with the Children's Parade, after a two year break because of covid restrictions. The truly appropriate theme was rebuilding and hope, broken down into three subjects areas, rebuilding nature, homes and communities. The schools and children were invited to create large scale artworks and costumes, that explored ideas for children to learn together through making. They certainly did not disappoint.
The lighter shades on Baloo's fur were a rich chestnut brown. However the building site background was so colourful and busy that it distracted from the main subjects. Changing it to mono bought the focus back to Baloo and his owner.
I'm not sure I understand this protest:
Free Lulu the turtle who, it says on the pavement, is either 82 years old OR has spent 82 years in the Sea Life Centre. I've checked the life span of a sea turtle on the WWF site and it says they have been known to live for up to 50 years.
So how old is Lulu? And where on earth would they take her to spend her remaining years, if she has any, and how would she travel there? Moving Lulu anywhere would, I'm sure, be so traumatic for her that she could die of the shock or a heart attack .... which begs the question do turtles have heart attacks?
Between mustard blooms and intense daylight, she walks with purpose—carrying the weight of a thousand silent stories.
I usually capture life in these alcoves as a documentary record of Black Rock and Dukes Mound. When I was taking the photo I was thinking the occupant of the sleeping bag clearly had a tidy mind with the pair of black trainers sitting neatly beside where he slept. What I didn't see till I came to post the picture was the rat looking down on the scene. You wouldn't have seen me for dust if I had seen it.
The chalk writing along the cliff path changes each day, more added or all washed away by the rain. But they all carry the same messages of positivity and appreciation.
I was walking along the harbour wall when I saw this large number of jet ski boats and one fishing about to leave the harbour.
The Inside Out Project is a city-wide celebration of Londoners by artist JR. The promotion materials say ‘that the project is transforming the capital’s streets, squares and buildings with spectacular outdoor photographic displays. Capturing the stories of Londoners during the UEFA EURO 2020 the project is creating a series of activations in five locations across London, including Granary Square’.
The Inside Out Project King’s Cross is an exhibition focussed on local people who are active in grassroots sport and use physical activity to improve their wellbeing.
On a trip to Kings Cross, London I took a series of images using parts of the Project as a backdrop. Granary Square has a huge exhibition of the portraits which lead the public through the relevant areas.
I believe this photographer was part of the project and photographing the portrait pavement to promote the exhibition and bring visitors to the area. I can’t see any other photographer carrying a large step ladder on a trip to London !
