When the sun heats the region above the level of tolerance, locals make a pilgrimage to the safety of Days Bay beach. It is not a new phenomenon, it started a long time ago, this affair between the seaside and the people who find bliss on it, way earlier than the faded sepia photographs on the wall of the local shop that sells pies and soft chocolate ice cream could remember. Like everything else, it began as a necessity, became a habit and finally embedded itself into a fashionable and part of the local culture. The beach, renowned for its capacity to catch the very last of the sun, on this photograph at least, is just moments away before the strong clouds choke what is left of its light. And when sunlight goes, the party is over. Clouds are getting darker and everyone is gone. Only a couple of empty beer bottles, a half finished sand castle and a random chicken bone provide evidence of the merry crowd, now departed. Perfect timing for a daring gang of local seagulls to sift through the content of overloaded rubbish bins. The wind, mellow and warm, and seriously deficient of hats, balls and beach umbrellas to toy with, is degraded to rolling an empty milkshake cup along the gutter. Darkness will disembark quickly and change the mood of the place. And when night comes, it is always a good time to be safe.

The climate here can be very changeable, and we joke about four seasons in one day. Well yesterday was like that – sun, rain, wind, fog, and generally cold. Here you can see a bit of sun, a bit of fog, some rain clouds and more of the splendid rainbow we had which lasted about two hours.

Taken near the Belle Tout lighthouse at Beachy head in Eastbourne, England.
-
Beachy Head is on the coast of Eastbourne, East Sussex In 1902 the lighthouse was brought into service, sited about 165 metres from the base of the cliffs. It took two years to complete and involved building a coffer-dam and a cableway from the top of the cliffs to carry materials down to the site. 3,660 tons of Cornish granite were used in the construction of the tower. Beachy Head lighthouse was automated and demanned in June 1983. Since the 1600s Beachy Head has been notorious as a location for people to attempt suicide, estimated at 20 each year, so nearby is a special telephone box with a direct line to the Samaritans. In 2006 there were only seven fatalities, a marked decrease, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency attributed the reduction to the work of the Chaplaincy Patrol Team and good coverage of services by local media. The Countryside Commission also designated the white chalk cliffs between Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters and Seaford Head as the first ever stretch of Heritage Coastline – a stretch of coastline which is of particular natural beauty or importance and is managed to preserve this largely undeveloped beauty Shot taken with a Olympus Camedia D-545 Zoom point and shoot camera

Eastbourne Pier, East Sussex

I had to pop down to Eastbourne, UK to collect an oven won on ebay. I took the hour before the collection to take some pictures of the pier, it was a tad windy but the sky was lovely. As it turned out the oven description was fraudulent so I didn’t get it in the end, but I did come away with something I liked better. Canon 5D, 24-70mm at 24mm, f/9, 1/320 sec, ISO 500. No filters used. Dust and scratches removed in photoshop. Chromatic aberration removed from dark/light edges.

A 3 shot HDR Processed in Photomatix Pro Beachy Head is a chalk headland on the south coast of England, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west. Its height has also made it a notorious suicide spot. The headland was a danger to shipping. In 1831 construction began on Belle Tout lighthouse on the next headland west from Beachy Head. It became operational in 1834. Because mist and low clouds could hide the light of Belle Tout, another lighthouse was built in the sea below Beachy Head. It was 43 m in height and became operational in October 1902.[2] For more than 80 years, the red-and-white striped tower was manned by three lighthouse keepers. Their job was to maintain the light, which rotates two white flashes every 20 seconds and is visible 26 miles (42 km) out to sea. The lighthouse was fully automated in 1983.

This Fallow Deer will be the first shot in a new wildlife series I will be uploading which I took last weekend in the British Wildlife Centre. The centre is just ten minutes away from the M25 motorway, junction 6 in Newchapel on the A22 Eastbourne Road in Surrey. This pretty lady looked as though she was playing Hide & Seek with us hiding behind a few blades of grass. We weren’t daft though, we could see her. LOL I hope you like the photo and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.

I bet any males looking are now quite disappointed that there isn’t a babe here for them to look at? LOL This is my second shot from the British Wildlife Centre. The centre is just ten minutes away from the M25 motorway, junction 6 in Newchapel on the A22 Eastbourne Road in Surrey. This beautiful Red Fox kept looking at me then turning away then back to me again as if asking; “Have you got the shot yet? ” And when I had the one I wanted she trotted off. The Red Fox is one of my favourite animals and I know they steal from farmers and are shot if caught and were hunted by dogs and people on horseback with nothing better to do but rip the poor creature to pieces but they are just so beautiful, look at her face, how could you hurt one of God’s wonderful creatures as beautiful as she is? I hope you like the photo and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.

We walked past these two gentlemen as they were passing in the opposite direction, I heard them say something along the lines of “they don’t know what’s happened”, I made nothing of it. My friends and I were laughing amongst ourselves about something or other, it was only when we reached the top of next cliff that we saw the helicopter ambulance and climbers abseiling down the cliff.. I looked back and snapped this shot as they passed over the hill behind us. Photo was taken from Beachy Head looking back towards Birling Gap, Eastbourne, East Sussex, UK.
