Tyne Cot Cemetery

Tyne Cot Cemetery is located on the site where three German bunkers once made the allied army pay a terrible price for attacking that section of the Ypres Salient. Once the Australian 3rd Division captured… [more]

Pylons across Romney Marsh

These pictures show the electricity pylons that march in a dead straight line for 7.1 miles. This long line of pylons has always drawn my eye when travelling across the marsh, and I have photographed it… [more]

Rye Harbour Entrance Panorama

  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… [more]

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… [more]

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… [more]

The Ruined Pier

March 8, 2013

  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 of its current state. You can view a larger version of this image by clicking [...]

Pett Level Groyne

March 1, 2013

  I was sat on Pett Level beach one afternoon late last summer. The tide was coming in, so too was a sea mist. Fairlight hill was slowly becoming obscured by it. The mist veiled the sun replacing vibrant colours with muted ones. The groynes turned into silhouettes. It was calm and relaxing watching the [...]

Prince Albert Memorial Clock Tower

February 22, 2013

  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 bottle within a cavity of the foundation stone contained a parchment that read: ‘Prince [...]

Hastings Pier

February 15, 2013

  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 of the pier has stayed pretty strong since it’s construction in 1872. In its original [...]

Rye Bay as the sun rises

February 8, 2013

  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 rich with saline lagoons, shingle banks and sand dunes. It is ideal land for a [...]

Hastings Harbour Arm

February 1, 2013

  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 beyond being a great lump of concrete. Even though its an inanimate object there is [...]

January 25, 2013

  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 the East Hill can be seen rising above the Stade. The hill on the far [...]

Hastings Pier and Bottle Alley

January 18, 2013

  I liked this particular perspective of Bottle Alley and Hastings Pier. Where the vanishing point of the alley intersects with the entrance to the pier. There was good news for Hastings Pier in November when the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded 11.4 million towards the total project cost of 13.9 million. The Hastings Pier and [...]

Sunrise on a Windy Day part 2

January 11, 2013

  Sometimes, during the times I’m out taking photographs, I come back only to find that most of the pictures haven’t turned out as I’d hoped. A photo might look ok on the camera screen, but when viewed full size it just doesn’t work. On other days it’s the opposite and every picture turns out [...]

River Brede in Flood

January 4, 2013

  A rare break in the clouds enabled me to take a couple of photos of the River Brede in flood. If the internet is to be believed, during the summer it is home to man eating blanket weed, a particular danger to canoeists and fishermen. It is also an occasional home for seals. The [...]
