From Wikipedia : "The Royal Pavilion, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815."
"The purchase of the Royal Pavilion from Queen Victoria, by Brighton, marked the beginnings of the site's attraction as a tourist destination. The Royal Pavilion has been changed from a private residence to a public attraction under civic ownership. Today, around 400,000 people visit the Royal Pavilion annually. General filming and photography is not permitted inside the Royal Pavilion. Many of the items in the palace are on loan, in particular from HM The Queen, and one condition of the loans is that the items cannot be photographed or reproduced without prior written permission."

From their website : "Redemption Roasters is a social enterprise, training offenders and roasting at HMP The Mount. The result is a finely crafted cup of coffee that raises the bar for everyone. Visit our coffee kiosk in Broadgate Circle - close to Moorgate and Liverpool Street. Our focus is on exceptional specialty coffee but with lightning service; city folk don’t have time to hang around! The kiosk serves espresso-based and batch filter coffee, cakes, pastries and a simple lunch offer. We don't have our own tables and chairs but there's loads of communal seating to park yourself at."

New Brighton by Fort Perch Rock.
I believe this was taken just a day or two after the UK flights resumed service following the volcanic dust problems.
There seemed to be more air trails than ever this sunrise, but I did like the pattern they made!

This is the moment when a persons mind becomes blank, black, nothing seems to exist. It can last for several minutes. Mum is looking but not seeing. Heart beating but not truly living......
