Royal Pavilion

I posted pictures already from our day visiting inside the Royal Pavilion but it wasn’t till some days later that I happened to have this outside view from the Old Steine.

Missing Horizon

West Pier again, this time on a day when the haze almost erased the horizon, obscuring the boundary between the sea and sky.

The Royal Pavilion filled us with conflicting feelings: on the one hand it was gorgeous, ornate, beautiful, rococo, inspiring beauty; on the other its luxury and opulence were disgusting condemnations of the inequity in human societies.

Now a Metro Bank, this building opposite where we’re staying in Brighton has a long retail history going back to the drapers shop Soper’s in the 1870s.
