On a walk home from Kemptown I was struck by the many interesting streets leading down to the beach and the English Channel. I’m not sure any of the individual pictures make the grade but as a small collection…?

Palace Pier Murmuration

Brighton Pier illuminated at dusk with a crowd of people and birds flying overhead, reflected in the calm water. — Brighton Palace Pier

The last time we shot from the Palace Pier and thought we’d be closer at the Doughnut (Afloat). This time we shot from the Doughnut and wondered if we wouldn’t have been better at the Palace Pier. Or, perhaps, the best view was had by the swimmers in the frigid waters.

West Pier, Again

As the i360 began to rise, we had a view of Regency Square and other nearby streets. Unfortunately the curved glass saucer shape of the chamber made it impossible to banish all the reflections.

Murmurings

The murmuration had not begun but the starlings were gathering (as were the gulls).

Wintery, Watery West Pier

Walking home on a wintery afternoon we came to West Pier in a dusky light and stopped to see the starlings gather for their daily murmuration.
