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).

Whilst driving to do the weekly shopping this cloud and sun alignment really caught my eye. It was a very windy day so it didn’t stay for long. I just had time to pull over, grab my cell phone (I was cameraless that day otherwise), and snap this picture. Moments later the cloud had shifted and the sun disappeared once more.
