Some very decent sidelight lit up cobbles behind a seafront restaurant recently. Thanks for viewing :-)
Brighton Seafront 30th of October 2018. I was in Brighton overnight to watch David Byrne's American Utopia Tour and spent the bright Autumn afternoon walking the seafront and pier
Mumbles, Gower Peninsula.
Work at Mumbles is now complete and it is a lovely walk along the seafront with landscaping and play areas for the children.
This has deteriorated a lot since I was last there with letters dropping off, more plants and pigeons.
Some more photos to follow from our walk round Southsea Castle last weekend. I am not sure what those people are looking at as I didn't go over but sometimes we've had evening walks in the past and seen people practising archery in the moat area of the castle.
Gosport is the land ahead and the Isle of Wight is to the left.
The i360 Observation tower in Brighton is incredibly slender and elegant as you can see here. Seemingly there was also quite a campaign against it when originally proposed but was presumably it was deemed acceptable because like the same Architects London Eye it is a temporary structure.

From Wikipedia : "British Airways i360 is a 162 m (531 ft) observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, East Sussex, England at the landward end of the former West Pier. The tower opened on 4 August 2016. From the fully enclosed viewing pod, visitors experience 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, the English Channel and on the clearest days it is possible to see Beachy Head 27 km (17 mi) to the east and the Isle of Wight 66 km (41 mi) to the west.
British Airways i360 was designed, engineered, manufactured and promoted by the team responsible for the London Eye. It is estimated by the developers that the i360 will generate more than 440 permanent jobs; 160 posts at the attraction, and additional jobs from the spin-off benefits to other businesses in the city. The attraction cost ÂŁ46 million, with ÂŁ36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through Brighton and Hove city council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract 739,000 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. The i360 carried its 1,000,000th passenger on the 11am flight on 11 March 2019."

This is looking back towards where we'd just come from and you can see Southsea Castle with its lighthouse. The Castle was first constructed in 1544, but the lighthouse wasn’t built until 1828 into the top of the western rampart of the castle, marking the east side of the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour.
Adam always says that I take bad pictures of him but what do you expect when I point the camera in his direction and this is what happens.
Slight dusting of snow on the beach... mid March and bitterly cold. Struggling now as I've only got one glove on my left hand... lost the other one.

Two photos of Bognor Regis pier. You can also see the big wheel there, behind the building, which is a temporary attraction.

The charming white village of Loutro, in Crete, is isolated at the foot of the mountains around a small cove.
Accessible only by boat or on foot, its white houses contrast with the breathtaking scenery.
Loutro is well known to hikers because it is one of the stops on the way back from Agia Roumeli, the finish point of the famous Samaria Gorge hike, to the port of Chora Sfakion, to rejoin the road network.
Unfortunately, Loutro in Crete is no longer a traditional fishing village.
All the buildings are now tourist accommodation and restaurants.

Sixty constructions connected by two kilometres of open-air and underground tunnels. They are silent witnesses to the horrors of war. Those who have ever visited this
unique open-air museum know that this should never happen again.
My recollection of seaside holidays in England as a young child is that whatever town we stayed in invariably had pretty gardens or flower-beds along the seafront. This is Morecambe in north Lancashire, which was once one of England's most important seaside towns. Morecambe once had two piers, but both have gone. The railway station on the promenade has also gone, to be replaced by one in the town.With Blackpool less than an hour away to the south the town certainly has lots of competition. I guess it still attracts the older visitor (like my wife and myself!).
