After dropping my youngest to a birthday party last night I used the 2 hours to head down the beach for some camera action.
Once again my impeccable timing meant I missed the colours in the sky by 10 minutes so whatever you do don't set your clocks by me lol.
With the tide out there was some lovely reflections in the sand of Eastbourne pier, I managed to grab a few shots before the light totally disappeared.

Detail of a blue metal building at the Mare Island Naval Ship Yard.
I was at the historic Mare Island Naval Ship Yard to spend the evening doing night photography with my friends from the original Nocturnes group, and I had arrived well before sunset. After meeting up in the Mare Island Museum for pizza and conversation we realized that the end of the day was coming. I went outside about a half hour before sunset, and I thought of some old industrial buildings that I had passed on the way in. Instead of staying where I was and starting my typical routine of wandering on foot with my gear I decided to take short drive back to those buildings and see if I could make a few quick photographs in the end-of-day light.
I soon arrived and made a few photographs in golden hour light, but the sun quickly dropped below the horizon and I was left with that post-sunset glow. This light can be quite warm if clouds reflect some of the remaining red, yellow, and orange tones of sunset, but if the sky is clear what remains is the intense blue of early twilight. The latter light is what evolved, and I soon moved back to this unusual structure whose blue paint's color was even more intensified by this twilight illumination.

The entire structure is quite impressive. The choice of red for a "Golden Gate" was also an interesting choice but makes sense as you can clearly make it out on a cloudy and foggy day!

This historic structure is in the heart of Farningham Village in Kent. It is thought to be a cattle screen.
In this photo, Paloma Rubio of Northrop Grumman is installing flight thermal blankets on the structure that supports the James Webb Space Telescope's secondary mirror in a clean room at Northrop Grumman, Redondo Beach, California. The strings, which are shown hanging down in this image, are called lacing cords, and they are used to tie the blankets to the struts. Why are the blankets tied on with lacing cords? Tying the blankets on allows them to be securely attached, while allowing enough room for them to shrink and move as Webb goes through the movements and temperature changes that will occur during its trip from Earth to its home in space, a million miles away. This technique also makes certain that the blankets are secure without using exposed adhesive for attaching the blankets. It’s cleaner for the telescope optics to not use a sticky adhesive nearby their pristine surfaces.
Because the blankets are tied (and also sewn on), team members working on the thermal blankets are one of the most unique groups of people working on Webb. They often have backgrounds that have included tailoring and costume making, prior to work in the aerospace industry.

Whitehall is a 75-room, 100,000 square foot Gilded Age mansion open to the public in Palm Beach, Florida in the United States. Completed in 1902, it is a major example of neoclassical Beaux Arts architecture designed by Carrère and Hastings for Henry Flagler, a leading captain of industry in the late 19th century, and a leading developer of Florida as a tourist destination. The building is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It now houses the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, named after its builder.
The site of the home was purchased for $50,000 in 1893 (as of 2010 that would be $1,197,562.39) by Flagler. The site was later surveyed for construction in July 1900 and the home was completed in time for Flagler and his wife to move in on February 6, 1902. The architects were John Carrère and Thomas Hastings, who had earlier designed the Ponce de Leon Hotel and several other buildings in St. Augustine for Flagler. Whitehall was to be a winter residence, and Henry gave it to Mary Lily as a wedding present. They would travel to Palm Beach each year in one of their own private railcars, one of which was No. 91.
In 1959, the site was saved from demolition by one of Henry Flagler's granddaughters Jean Flagler Matthews. She established the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum non-profit corporation, which purchased the building in 1959, opening it as a museum in 1960. The upper ten stories of the hotel addition were demolished in 1963 in preparing the museum for the public.
Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, exhibits, and special programs. The museum offers several programs, many of which are seasonal, lasting only from October to January. In addition to an annual chamber music series, the Flagler hosts the Whitehall lecture series, which brings “experts and best-selling authors to discuss Gilded Age topics, events, and local history.” Past lecture series include historical talks about the dawn of the Progressive Era, World War I, Gilded Age presidents, engineering feats, and Metaphysical America: Spirituality and Health Movements During the Gilded Age. The Flagler also holds a special exhibition each year, often showcasing Gilded Age paintings, sculptures, glamour photography, or material culture, such as board games, jewelry, cartoons, Tiffany & Co. silver pieces (including ones displayed at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition), and women's fashion. It also hosts a variety of local galas and balls throughout the year. The Museum is located at Cocoanut Row and Whitehall Way in Palm Beach.
Flagler died of injuries sustained in falling down a flight of marble stairs at Whitehall in 1913, at the age of 83. Mary Lily died four years later, and the home was devised to her niece Louise Clisby Wise Lewis, who sold the property to investors. They constructed a 300-room, ten-story addition to the west side of the building, obliterating Mr. Flagler's offices and the housekeeper's apartment, and altering the original kitchen and pantry area. Carrere and Hastings were the architects of the 1925 reconstruction. In 1939 it was described as a $4,000,000 building and Palm Beach's second-largest hotel.
When it was completed in 1902, Whitehall was hailed by the New York Herald as "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." It was designed in the Beaux Arts style, meant to rival the extravagant mansions in Newport, Rhode Island.
Distinct from these northern homes, Whitehall had no outbuildings or subsidiary structures. Nor had it elaborately planned or cultivated gardens. Plants, flowers, trees and shrubs were allowed to grow unaided.
The mansion is built around a large open-air central courtyard and is modeled after palaces in Spain and Italy. Three stories tall with several wings, the mansion has fifty-five fully restored rooms furnished with period pieces. These rooms are large with marble floors, walls and columns, murals on the ceilings, and heavy gilding.
Officially opened February 4, 2005, the $4.5-million Flagler Kenan Pavilion is the first addition to the property since 1925. The 8,100-square-foot (750 m2) pavilion is named after the mogul and William R. Kenan Jr., Flagler's engineer, friend and brother-in-law. It was designed in the Beaux-Arts manner by Jeffery W. Smith of Palm Beach-based Smith Architectural Group, Inc. and took almost four years to build. The featured display in this pavilion is Railcar No. 91, Flagler's private railcar built in Delaware in 1886. According to the museum, the car was restored using “documentation from the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian, the Delaware State Archives, and the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware.” It also houses the seasonal Pavilion Café and tea service.

The Hotel Breakwater South Beach is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Miami’s Art Deco Historic District, celebrated for its symmetrical design and iconic neon-lit vertical signage.
Design: The hotel was designed in 1936 (some records cite construction completion in 1939) by Yugoslavian architect Anton Skislewicz.
Style: It is a prime example of Streamline Moderne, a late Art Deco style characterized by clean lines, aerodynamic curves, and archetypal symmetry.
Signature Features: The building features a prominent central tower with an electric-blue sign that serves as a beacon on Ocean Drive. It originally included etched plate glass windows depicting tropical Florida scenes like flamingos and palm trees.
Post-War Boom: After serving as a training ground for military personnel during World War II, the hotel became a central part of the bustling Ocean Drive tourist scene in the mid-1940s.
Iconic Photoshoot: In the early 1980s, the rooftop terrace hosted Bruce Weber’s famous Calvin Klein Underwear photoshoot, an event credited with helping bring international attention back to the then-fading Art Deco District.
Historic Designation: In 1979, the hotel became part of the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing structure to the Miami Beach Architectural District.
Renovation: After falling into disrepair, the property was extensively renovated in 2011 by the Nakash family (founders of Jordache Jeans). The restoration combined the original Breakwater building with its neighbor, the Edison, into a 99-room boutique hotel.
Recent Developments: As of January 2026, the hotel continues to operate as a central feature of South Beach, though it recently faced financial shifts, including reports of a loan default in late 2025.
