South Parade Pier, Southsea, Hampshire

Sonnenschein und Kälte passen zusammen, Keith.
Besser als peitschender Regen...
Schickt uns bitte die Sonne.
Wunderschönes Licht.
Schöne Grüße
Erich

Such lovely words Erich..........I'm pleased you like this one. Thank you so much!

Ja,man kann nie genug anhaben,wenn es kalt wird lieber Keith,aber deine Aufnahme mit dieser Sichtweise auf das Pear und diesn schönen,modernen Gebäude ist großartig,mir gefällt auch richtig gut,dass du einen Teil des Strandes mit ins Bild genommen hast :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Ha, ha.........I was starting to look like the Michelin Man :-))). It's just as cold today, but it's also raining, so I didn't go out anywhere.

Anyway, enough of the English weather............I'm really pleased that you like my view of the pier and the pebbled beach. Thank you so much for your visit and kind words Güni.

Have a lovely evening.........in the warm, I hope. Best wishes, Keith.

Das Regnerische müsste jetzt nicht unbedingt sein lieber Keith,aber du überbrückst diese Zeiten eh immer mit tollen Stillleben :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Excellent perpective wonderfully captured, Keith!

Glad you like it Judite............thanks very much. Always appreciated.

A far cry from our weather at this time Keith. - A wonderful capture of this gorgeous pier that I have actually walked on once long ago. I would love to see some blue skies like that. The 16:9 format always seems the most natural one to me. After all we have two eyes side to side so we see a wider than higher image, reflected too in many of my images as you know. (I get quite annoyed at people taking natural wide landscapes or group photos that are just too thin and long in portrait mode with their phones. - it's my age-I know :))

Enjoy the week. Herb

Yes, I've been watching the weather in your part of the country on the news. I'm glad I live so far down South.

Glad you recognised the pier........and that you like the photo (and the format). It's ideal when you have great expanses of sky or foreground, which don't offer much to the composition.

Thanks for your visit as always.........and of course your kind comments.

Getting old is a great excuse to be a grumpy old git...........I got a mug from one of my daughters with that printed on it..!!

what a beautiful seascene

Happy evening!

Glad you like it Annemarie...........thank you so much.

lovely to see some sunshine. It’s a chilly snow flurries day here

Yes. Although I frequently moan about it being cold...........I don't actually mind as long as it's dry as well. Cold and wet is just awful (which is what we have today)!!

Anyway, thanks for your kind comments Colin and glad you like the photo. I hope your weather becomes kinder to you.

I get you on the weather Keith - and fully agree !... they do say 'layers' is the thing,.. // Good Wishes to you - and keep well,.. Cheers,. from > Dj.

[ added to group ] Thanks,......

Although I moan (I'm a grumpy old git), I don't actually mind the cold as long as it stays dry. Cold and wet is just awful..!!

Thanks for your kind comments and glad you like the photo. Take care and stay safe and warm my friend.

Das freundliche Licht unterstreicht die ruhige Atmosphäre. Die Kälte gibt die Klarheit für das Motiv. Mit der Linienführung ein sehr schöner Bildaufbau, Keith.

Wise words Mikus (I'm just naturally grumpy), whereas you seem to be looking on the bright side of things.

Glad you like the photo and thanks for your generous comments.

Joli cet endroit idéal le format pour ce paysage merci pour l'info bonne journée.

Many thanks Patrick. I'm glad you like the photo and the format. Much appreciated.

That's a fine pier Keith I like the format one that I use most of the time.
All the best TOZ

Thank you so much TOZ. As I said to Herb (above) it's a good format to use when you have great expanses of sky or foreground, which don't offer much to the composition.

A striking capture, technically and compositionally.

Thank you kind sir.............very much appreciated.

A very tasteful looking pier Keith. We have just been down in Paignton to attend the funeral of an old school friend and working colleague. The pier is not worth a visit - somewhat Blackpool-ish. ;-))

It looks pretty good nowadays, but not too many years ago it looked like it was going to collapse into the sea!!

A bit more history here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Parade_Pier

I've never seen Paignton Pier..........but I guess I've not missed anything.

Thanks for dropping by Amelia........have a good weekend.

Sehr schön in diesem Licht!

Thanks Wilhelm...........glad you like it.

I have been seing a BBC series "Grace" taking place in Brighton, this reminds me of it...
