Beach Sunset
This was taken one evening at West Marina beach. (Click to enlarge)

Red Arrows, Hastings 2012
The Red Arrows came to Hastings for the first time in 25 years as part of Pirate Day. There aren’t enough superlatives for the Red Arrows, but they seemed even better flying above the Old Town in the clear blue…
Rain Approaches
When we arrived at the beach the weather was sunny but windy. Looking east towards Rye and beyond it was clear that they were getting a good soaking, but there seemed little danger of it moving my way. An hour…
Incoming Tide
These were taken with the camera being held an inch or so above the sand, a perspective that most people would never see (unless they were lying on wet sand for some reason). I quite like the way the pictures…

Track Marshall 90 on Hastings Beach
The Hastings fishermen use a variety of tracked vehicles to launch and land their boats. This particular one is a Track Marshall 90, built by a British firm whose history is a bit complex and poorly written. Needless to say…
Pett Level Beach

Strong Winds 3
Finally, a couple more pictures from the other side of the Harbour Arm. The trick here was to get some photographs before the lens got covered in spray. It’s exhilarating being so close, hearing the waves crashing and feeling the…
