Natural Monochrome
The day had begun overcast, but the sun was beginning to break through. The light mist defused the detail, softening the view. The result was an almost monchrome scene, as shown here.

Type 45 Destroyer
This photo was taken when travelling on the ferry from the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth. The Type 45 Destroyer cruised very slowly into the Solent, and never got close enough for me to pick out much detail even at…
Strong Winds 4
Another shot of the recent stormy weather, but this time without seagulls in it.
Gulls, Beach and the Waves
It was a bit windy the other day, so I went to the beach to take some pictures. As usual there were lots of gulls hanging around the fishing boats. This one was wearing an expression of mild concern, either…
Pett Level Beach
Looking down from the top of the shingle at Pett Level Beach I spied this lady walking her dog and liked the contrast between the beach and the sea. Typically the dog decided to show his backside to me just…

Pett Level
A man searches for lug worms as the sun rises over Pett Level beach. The darker areas in the foreground are the fossilised remains of a 6,000 year old forest.
The Harbour Arm
Along with the Pier the Harbour Arm is the other major feature of Hastings beach front. It has featured in some of my posts already and will again. During construction in the 1890’s engineers found that the sea bed where…
Like snowflakes
All waves are different. Some are splashy. Some are bubbly… Endless, random and hypnotic to watch.
