This view of Hastings seafront was taken from the sandstone rocks that rise above the town. These rocks form part of the promontory upon which Hastings Castle is built. The sand stone rocks have long been popular with children and…
Hastings Old Town is nestled in a valley between two hills. The stream that shaped the valley, known as the Bourne, cannot be seen as it was covered over between 1820 and 1840. The course of the stream can be…
Regular readers will have noticed that I’ve been producing a number of panoramic pictures recently and the latest is of Rye Harbour, where the River Rother meets the sea. With normal aspect photographs the framing of the shot focussed…
Despite it looking like it was taken from a boat, this picture of Camber Sands was taken from across the River Rother, where the river exits into the sea. Behind the sand dunes can be seen the wind turbines…
On this day the clouds over the channel were worthy of a photograph, but one photograph wasn’t enough to convey the scene. This West Hill Panorama is the result. If you click on the photo it will take you…

Hastings Harbour Arm takes a battering during a storm. This is another photograph taken during the session mentioned in my recent post. I don’t know what it is about the Harbour Arm, but it has a presence that goes…
This panoramic picture was put together using eight different photos. For those not familiar with Hastings allow me to be a guide. The view is from the Harbour Arm, looking north. The Fishing Fleet is to the right and…
