Brighton Beach

Abandoned
West Pier, Brighton, Sussex

West Pier, Brighton, or what is left of it.....The fantastic old Victorian structure now seemingly doomed to succumb to the weather, most probably beyond saving now so it will slowly dissapear bit by bit into the ocean, I'd wanted to shoot some big cloud movement over here but on this day visit this was as close as I got, as the day wore on the cloud slowly vanished, this one was as good as I got on the day just after I arrived, another trip needs to be planned to shoot it early morning as the sun for the remainder of the day seems to be in exactly the wrong place until it sets. It's a very eerie place especially in dull weather, but makes for fascinating images, while it's still with us....
