Camber Sands
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…

Herstmonceux Castle
Another day out, another overcast day but this time at Herstmonceux Castle. The daffodils are defying the miserable weather though and add some much needed colour to the drabness of sky. This picture looked a bit flat originally, so…
West Hill Panorama
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…
Reflection
I take my camera everywhere I go, and I’m always looking for opportunities to get a good photo or two. Sometimes my search distracts me from the reason I’m at a particular place – to spend time with my…
Hastings Underpass Mosaics
I’ve walked past the Hastings underpass mosaics hundreds of times, but never took the time to really look at them. I think the reason I’ve never stopped before is that you’re always likely to get tapped up by whichever beggar is dwelling…
The Ruined Pier
Can there be such a thing as too many pictures of Hastings’ ruined pier? It appears in my photos quite a lot. Hopefully it won’t be a ruin for much longer so I suppose it’s important to capture images…
Pett Level Groyne

Prince Albert Memorial Clock Tower
On 10th June 1864 the clock was installed on the Prince Albert Memorial Clock Tower, completing its construction. At 65 feet tall the tower had a life size sculpture of Prince Albert, the clock and a drinking fountain. A glass…
Hastings Pier
Like the Harbour Arm, Hastings Pier is also under constant pressure from the sea. Yet although the pier seems much frailer than the solid concrete harbour arm, it relies on clever design rather than brute strength. The core structure…
Rye Bay as the sun rises
A view across Rye Bay looking towards Camber Sands and Dungeness taken at sunrise. Large stretches of the land here are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The erosion and deposits over the centuries have created an area…
Hastings Harbour Arm
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…
A panoramic picture of Hastings
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…
