Sunset centre stage

Hello again flickr. It's been a while. Sorry. All manner of excuses. So, to herald what's about to be a significant batch of uploading, here's the view from my flat, which was at the time of taking, my new flat.

(don't) leave me driftwood

...on the shore (With apologies to the Moody Blues. I'm feeling a little bit like driftwood juuuuust at the moment, so this wreckage on Brighton beach yesterday is kinda appropriate.) Don't miss the kid on the springy bit. His dad is standing on the other end, holding him up. This, clearly, makes everything in the world somehow all right. :-)

In the pint. I'm not referring to Warren himself. Honest. Note the ready availability of Pimms. :)

Why engage with your friends when there's a cult book just been published? ;)

I just love this. It cost me doughnut and a lot of patience. Try to work out how come the pier is running parallel to the coast ;-) Nikon fixed-zoom automatic (!)

You guys liked my last Brighton seafront shot (it's my most viewed and most favourited photo on flickr) so here's another oldie I like :) Pentax ME-Super, 50mm, UV filter.

North Woolwich pleasure boat pier

17 Jun 2007 60
Thanks to Mossy for reminding me that I'd been meaning to experiment with adding borders! ;) This is opposite the North Woolwich Old Station Museum, which was once the terminus of a railway line and is now a small museum to it. It's about to enjoy a renaissance as a museum to all of London's suburban railways, and will include Britain's first main-line-powered electric preserved railway — also to be used for training purposes, which is kinda cool. Aaaanyway, this thing is near the Woolwich Ferry, and when seen from the ferry looks like it might have been its predecessor. But in fact it's too small for cars, and was a foot access to pleasure boats which called here in the middle of the nineteenth century before the area became industrialised.
