A beautiful "golden oldie" image indeed. I'd expected this as the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8ECSKoISLw :-) HFF and have a great weekend, Carol.

Thank you very much George. Really appreciated and thank you for the link. I really don't remember her doing this at all. Love the music, - almost like gypsy music in places. HFF and have a great weekend

That's so golden and pretty, Carol.

This is one of my fav. Green Day songs and a new one for me from Avril Lavigne. Good combinations.

HFF and a pleasant weekend to you! :)

Ecobird ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thank you very much Karen. Really appreciated. Mine too, and even my granddaughter enjoys it. I think the Avril Lavigne song shows a more grown up side to her singing which I like. HFF and have a lovely weekend

Amelia ^club

There is a certain sadness that goes with many of the pleasure piers that have fallen into disrepair in England. They are expensive to maintain, but at least you remember it all in its heyday.
HFF and a good weekend Carol

7 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you very much Amelia. Really appreciated. Yes it is sad. There have been several schemes over the years to repair it but they have all come to nothing. Even the lifeboat crew had to stop using as it was unsafe to get out to the lifeboat station at the end. HFF and have a lovely weekend

I feel all your nostalgia in this cliché where the sky seems to salute this fragile human work ...

Ecobird ^club has replied to Pat Del ^club

Thank you very much Patrick. Really appreciated. The setting sun makes it look more romantic than it is in the harsh light of day and I imagine my memories have similarly been softened by the passage of time but I still like this pier. Have a lovely weekend

It' s a wonderful impression of the good old times ! Like it very much in this brilliant light. HFF and a sunny weekend, Carol !

Ecobird ^club has replied to Percy Schramm ^club

Thank you very much Percy. Really appreciated. It was a lovely elegant pier in its day. Weston does have another pier, the Grand Pier, which has been rebuilt is recent years as it had been destroyed by fire, but it is too modern and flashy for my taste. Have a lovely Sunday and my apologies for the late HFF

Thank you very much dear Christiane. Really appreciated. There is another more modern pier further along but it lacks the simple elegance of this old pier.. I hope you have a lovely Sunday and a good week ahead

Hi Carol

A very nice picture!!
I really like the clouds and the sunset, and the contrast against the black steelwork.
Also a great picture to keep for posterity!

StoneRoad2013 ^club

Congrats on "Explore" and a belated HFF
.
- I also remember this pier from many years ago.
For a long time the only people officially allowed on it were the lifeboat crew, but even they have left now. It is such a shame that it is left like this. As someone who "does restoration" I wish some rich - correction very rich - individual or group would get hold of the pier and rebuild it. Hastings, Southend and Weston's Grand Pier have all been updated after their fires, so maybe this one should be done up as it would have looked to the Victorians. Can hope, I suppose.

7 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to StoneRoad2013 ^club

Good evening and thank you very much. Really appreciated. Yes it would be good to see it restored but not if the elegance is not retained. I would hate to see it renovated only to house modern rides, slot machines, fast food outlets etc. A very belated HFF and have a good week

Great shot Eco, I suspect like a refurbished Eastbourne pier any upgrade must be sympathetic and compliment the needs of the local environment and community, It would be unlikely to allow say a rich American tycoon to come along a build a casino and hotel at the end.

Ecobird ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Thank you very much Maurice. Really appreciated. I would really hope so, although sadly it would seem that money talks these days. I very much doubt that it will ever be restored though as the people with enough interest in saving it would not have the resources to do so.

Roger Bennion ^club

Yes, very sad to see it broken and neglected but it is an ideal photographic subject, The diagonal line of the pier coming in from the bottom left corner makes for such a strong composition. Absolutely love the light and colours. Two well chosen musical choices that compliment the photo to perfection, Carol.
