Taken just west of the West Breakwater of Brighton Marina.

This photograph was taken on my cameraphone, and then enhanced a little to bring out the detail. It was a dreadful day, and my girlfriend and I decided to go play on the beach (yes… I know … we’re both crazy). Aside from a huge wave dumping on us – and we squelched back to the car at that point), we had a fabulous hour!

The black mass in the background you can see is the burnt-out shell of Hove’s West Pier (photo taken on a slightly better day).

I slowed down on the way home past Littlehampton Marina again tonight, as there was the most amazing lingering sunset that I’d tried to capture at various places enroute home without must success and wondered if the view was anything like I hoped it would be. As I ambled past, I was not disappointed! I jumped out of the car with my little tripod and managed to snap this shot before the sun faded completely.

I had hoped to catch the sun lifting over the river inlet and the distant hills and trees this morning enroute to work, but alas I was about 30 minutes too early. On the plus side it means you’ll have that pleasure another day instead! There was however a lovely warm early glow on the boats and boardwalk moorings on the opposite side to my intended target, and although it wasn’t what I came to shoot, it begged to be shot all the same.
