Leaving Sermione Harbour
I went on holiday to Lake Garda earlier in the year. The best way of travelling around the lake is to use the ferry service. The ferries connect all of the towns and villages on the lake, run on time…

Untitled
These untitled photos were taken at Pett Level beach. The tide was coming in, and the waves splashing gently against the worn stumps of the sea defences...
Pett Level Groyne
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…
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…
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…
Sunrise on a Windy Day part 2
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…
By The Seaside : The Secret Of The Sea
I was struggling to find something to write about this photo, so I looked for some appropriate poetry instead. I found a verse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a prolific American poet who lived between 1807 and 1882. I wondered if…
Hastings, Surfer’s Paradise
Hastings is not known as a surfer’s paradise because it is not one. But when the wind is strong and blowing in the right direction and the tide is in there is, if you are inclined, a chance to…
Sunrise on a Windy Day
The alarm going off an hour before sunrise. Forcing myself to shake off the desire to stay in the warm and go back sleep. Looking out the window to see if the skies look clear. Creeping about the flat trying…
St Leonards Sunrise
Driving down to the seafront at St Leonards last week I arrived just in time to see and photograph the sunrise. It was nice to see the sun after the dismal weather in recent days. These were taken a a…
A view of Hastings Pier
The sky was interesting on this morning, making this familiar view of Hastings Pier seem almost unfamiliar. (Click the picture to enlarge) You can view more posts about the Pier here.
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…
