I look nothing like him!
That’s a cracking shot.
Have you ever thought of taking more photos of buildings? You might find you’re quite good at it.

Thank you. I haven't, but you've got me thinking. There was one building I took lots of photos of a few years ago!

Miss Sussex, maybe one day I'll move back. Lewes would do me just fine
My comment was a direct reference to your shots of the stadium being built, and nothing more. But now I think about it - why not? Your framing and composition is great - I particularly like the West pier and the walkers seen through the gaps in the Palace pier...
Even better would have been to pick up the 29 bus from Churchill Sq: it takes you all the way to TW and there are stunning views of the Sussex countryside along the way. I've caught that bus many times, taking kids to rugby matches and it's a constant treat (and only £4.90 there and back too).

I was nearly sad enough to post something similar, not a great deal of difference time wise I would have thought. And you can bus spot, there was a rare appearance of the "Matthew Grimstone" bus on the route earlier in the week.

...And the winner of Flickr for 2018 is S. Straw esq
Damn. I was hoping for J. Straw. Oh well, I'll have another go next year!

beacon walk
Can anyone else recall the West lain beacons walk. My time was 1968 start at Jack and Jill end at Firle. I think K it wouldn't be possible now but a great walk in its day. Days of Fergudon and Sears and Goldsmith and Lawrence..

It takes an absolute age doesn’t it?
Also, on the train I have a table so I can work. Not sure that would be practical on a bus.
The new 29s have a couple of tables on the top deck (and wifi and charging sockets). As Norman says, I wouldn't have thought there was massive difference in time taken. It depends on how long you had to wait at SL.
You didn't say there was a time element, I thought we were just talking aesthetics

The current view from the marina wall.
It's the same in Sheffield. So easy to get out into the Peak District in about ten minutes (or a little more) from most areas of the city. But thousands of people (and thousands of kids) never do.
Can see it from my office window and I only live about 15 minutes from the city centre.

That's a beautiful photo.
Even in it's decaying, skeletal form, peaking through the struts of the Palace Pier like a nervous toddler hiding behind its mothers legs, the West Pier steals the show. It'll be a sad day for the Brighton sky line when she finally and completely falls into the sea.
