At the lovely sunny wedding of our friends Cath & Mike. Piers has subsequently sloped off to America to write episodes of Star Trek and Penny is researching things in Germany with her Bulgarian. Or something close to that.

What's left of the Royal Suspension Chain Pier in the foreground. What's left of it's successor and erstwhile sibling, the West Pier, at the back, and the one which essentially did for them both, the Palace Pier in the middle.

At extreme low tides, usually just a couple of times per year, the remains of Brighton's first pier – the Royal Suspension Chain Pier – stick up through the sand (yes, sand!) on the beach, just down from New Steine. The evening scene is completed with a couple of murmurations of starlings. They seem to have been a bit put out by the decline of the West Pier, and now peripatetically appear in various places along the beach. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Royal_Suspension_Chain_Pier
