July weather wasn't as good as this year - or not on this day!
A classic idea and iconic place. A photo I've had hanging about and should see the light of day perhaps

This image was taken from a jetty next to Brighton Pier. I have taken it through a sulpture. It features Rampion Offshore Wind Farm. This is the South Coast of England's first Offshore Wind Farm. It was completed in 2018 and generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of 350,000 UK homes.
Thanks for visiting.
Take care out there......
This shot was taken from Palace Pier, Brighton. The starlings perform most evenings through the winter months at dusk. The display is a sight to behold....Nature is INCREDIBLE!
With COVID I certainly haven’t been able to do the travel I would like. It has made me explore a bit more in the local area. Here’s my local sunset spot at Brighton, the lone mangrove at sunset.
I liked the reflections of the masts in the water. Brighton Marina is one of the attractions of this interesting city.

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.
