Thank you for looking.
Taken in October 2020 on a K&F Concept workshop. An exceptionally low tide at New Brighton of 0.6m meant we could make the mile or so walk out to the wreck of the SS Denham.
We were blessed with superb conditions with some wonderful cloud cover with breaks in between. As the light faded we turned our attention to the wind farm in Liverpool Bay. Thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all managed to forget about Covid for a few hours.
Trailing a beard of starlings this gent walks past a window on Brighton Pier. For those that don't know, Brighton is famous for it's starling murmurations, that phenomenon where thousands of starlings swoop and whirl in a unified beautiful synchronisation, looking almost like a single organism. One of the many wonders of nature. Unfortunately it was too early in the season to see the actual thing but this depiction painted (or stencilled?) on a window on Brighton Pier made for a fun prop for this kind of street shot.

Finally back from the UK! Though should have been back an hour and half earlier but they had to change a tyre on the plane. Quite amazed at how they could do it to a plane with passengers, luggage and fuel on board! Still shouldn't complain - safety first and all that.
I had four photography goals in mind from my trip to England and the west pier in Brighton was one of them. Taken mid-afternoon surrounded by optimistic British sun worshippers (note: look at sky - yes it was raining slightly) who were hoping for better weather. Me and another photographer, who I met whilst standing here, were probably the only two humans on the beach hoping for more clouds. Sorry Brighton and all good people on the beach that day!
It's funny, these last two weeks I've been looking at the images on the back of my camera and all the time I thought the image to the right of this one would be the one I go with (mainly because it was a 6 minute exposure) but when I finally fired up my computer and had a quick look this image was by far the much better.
I've tried to view peoples' images whilst over in England and comment as good as I can but honestly Flickr-ing on a small mobile phone isn't easy! So got plenty to catch up on in the coming days - really looking forward to re-viewing some of the excellent pictures I've seen but now on a bigger screen.
