The contractors have been working hard creating long trenches on the beach from Black Rock towards the Pier. I asked one of them what the trenches were and he explained they are part of the improving biodiversity plan (see below) The trenches are like planters which, once finished, will be filled with native plants, flowers and chalk land grasses. The trench area will then be fenced in so the public can look but not touch.

Sending you a wave and wishing you all well! Have a great creative weekend ! ☼♥

 

She fell from an angry sky onto the blackened ground, draped in an ivory garment, her memories of altitude still drifting in the breeze. Born of a radiant world, this fall was never meant to be..

   

Black Rock Station is the station for the Volks Electric Railway which opened on the 4th August 1883 and is the oldest electric railway in the world. You can read more about the history of the Railway here:

.......... of the wild and dark seas

A small area called Kemp Town Estate

I love sitting on the beach in this weather and watching the fishing/eating routines of the seagulls. As the tide goes out the seagulls fly low watching for shellfish like muscles and tiny crabs, then swoop down and pick up them up. They are unable to crack or prise the shell open so they fly back up, carrying the shell in their beaks and they drop them from a height onto the stones. The shells open on impact and the seagulls swoop down and eat the contents of the shell.

 

NB: Brighton seagulls are known to prefer chips 🍟

A flock (murmuration) of starlings used to return to the marina in their thousands for the winter and hundreds could be seen on virtually every boat in the harbour. It's unusual to see them on the boat masts now but tonight we had a welcome visit as the sunset.

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.

He ruined my symmetry! But such is photography.

2nd picture of a three post day

Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

inside the dim hush of the ferry, one figure drifts inward, lost in thought, while another leans into the haze of the city beyond. between them lies a frame of orange steel and quiet water, holding two lives in parallel pause.

Lit up with changing colours the Ice Rink

Fabulous view for exercising.

I could capture the rainbows (2) and I could capture the starling murmuration but I didn’t have the right wide angle lens to capture the beauty of both together.

Kiemo Galerija (The Yard Gallery), Kaunas, Lithuania — a courtyard known for its bizarre and colourful urban art. The courtyard was initiated by local artist Vytenis Jakas as a community project blending street art and history.

One of the most photographed constructions in the UK. The skeletal remains of the pier rising from the sea attract both locals and visitors to capture its uniqueness and to many its beauty.

As I was walking on Black Rock boardwalk I could hear the lovely sound of what I thought was a clarinet or a flute playing. So I walked down towards the shoreline and found the musician. He nodded ok for me to take his photo but carried on playing while I clicked. No opportunity to chat with him.

Watching the returning trolleys in the hope of finding supper.

Lovely to have longer, brighter days and even lovelier to have pink clouds ;-))

Looking out to sea from Black Rock beach about 2 pm

The zip wire goes across a long stretch of Brighton beach.
