Christmas in Brighton and Hove

Brighton Beach

Jumping in the English Channel on Christmas day is a thing here in Brighton. Today the temperature was hovering a little above 0°C (mid 30s °F) with a windchill about 6° (10°F) lower. We joined the Brighton Ramblers for a walk from the Brighton Palace Pier to the Hove Lagoon and the place was packed. Below, just some of the sights we saw (click into the gallery to see explanatory captions).

Back to the Future

I’m all out of new pictures. Downloaded a chip from the camera last weekend and out of 30-odd images, 2 struck me as blog-worthy. Also, I’m working on a cleanup of my keyword library (very slow going) and a revamp of my commercial web-site on Zenfolio, untouched for, lo, these many years. So for now, it’s back to the archive and this image from Christmas day in Times Square in obBLOGato’s first year, 2008 (excuse the watermark it was something I was doing back then). I think I posted it under the title Harlequin Man, an allusion to the character in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, re-imagined as a photojournalist in Apocalypse Now.
