We spent Christmas in Wells-next-the Sea on the north Norfolk coast. Although we were blessed with lots of sunshine it was bitingly cold. My Grandson announced that Grandad was going swimming. This was as close as I got. My Website Getty Images.

I was "brought up" on black & white photography and still almost automatically consider processing all my images as monochromes though very few actually end up in black & white. This shot is an exception in that I envisaged it in B&W when I took it. I was shooting the boardwalk when this lady, who was walking along the skyline, turned onto the boardwalk and, in what passes for my brain, the final image snapped into focus. I wish all my photography could be that easy! My Website Getty Images.

Having had a very nice, long break I must, firstly, thank all those people that sent me their good wishes for Christmas and the New Year. It is much appreciated. I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year. This is Hastings Pier. Built in 1872 it was substantially destroyed by fire in 2010 but, as indicated by the scaffolding, it is now undergoing restoration and, hopefully, it will be restored to its former glory. It would be nice to return and capture it when the work is complete. My Website Getty Images.
