An Old Love Affair Rekindled

I had some errands to run this morning, the sun was out, it was glorious!

I wasn't quite ready to go home so I took a walk along the pier, it's been a while!
During the winter I visited the pier alot it was like a love affair, just the pier and me before the crowds arrived.

Over time I stopped visiting, busy with other things. My son is getting older and his needs have changed, toddler group has been our thing in the mornings.

I took some new photographs. It seems the pier and I needed a little break so we could see each other with fresh eyes.

....I have fallen back in love again.

  1. I hate the Palace Pier, or did because I had always associated it with small children begging to play on the noisy machines. And bad pubs and over-priced donuts. But I've never really been there with photographers eyes, and your pictures inspire me. Jon.

  2. I agree, Jon. It's a tacky, nightmare of a place but try it first thing in the morning.
    It's quite surreal with music playing over the loud speakers and empty of people.

    Thank you for your comment!

  4. I really like your photos. I'm a sucker for medium format film and I like the subjects.
