Spring






In mid-February we went back to the Doughnut Groyne, between the Palace and West Piers to see the murmuration of the starlings again. This time they were rather further away from our vantage point but we still managed to capture something.








Another view from the i360 as the sun lowered in the sky over the English Channel.

Walking home along the beach on a wintery afternoon a week ago.

Walking westward on Western Road, I noticed how brightly the sun was shining far out in the Channel and stopped whenever there was a broader opening in the street to get a picture of it.




…God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Hard not to think of words like these (at least in the West) upon seeing such a sight. Probably the wind turbines don’t support the imagism, but don’t tell Donald.


“Rottingdean is a village in the city Brighton and Hove, on the south coast of England. It borders the villages Saltdean, Ovingdean and Woodingdean, and has a historic centre, often the subject of picture postcards.” Some of its more renowned residents include Rudyard Kipling, Enid Bagnold, and Edward Burne-Jones.









Still more from our walk from Falmer to Rottingdean. Beginning to get used to walking through a field of cows.


More from the October ramble from Falmer to Rottingdean.





In October we joined the Ramblers for a walk from Falmer to Rottingdean (a little over 7 miles) on the South Downs. I took a lot of landscape pictures of the lovely English countryside along the way (more to come in future posts).
As I’m just getting to mid-October pictures now in December I’ll revert to 2 posts a day until I’m a bit more caught up.


The light in the clouds on the right, above, is not the sun, but a bit of a solar halo (see last post) – the sun is off to the left, just out of shot.
