Winchelsea Beach sunset 16.8.2007

I thought that, as the weather is so warm?, I would add a couple of ice-cream vans! This one appears to have been created on a 1986 Ford Transit 120 Popular chassis.

The yacht was keeping a steady distance behind a small inflatable dinghy with four people on board. I initially thought that the dinghy was towing the yacht, as the distance between them remained the same, but I can see no evidence of a tow line. In close up the occupants of the dinghy may be four young people. They do not seem to be wearing buoyancy aids, although it is hard to see. Perhaps the yacht's crew were making sure they made it back to port safely.

A pleasant view from the road between Bishopstone and Norton, a hamlet to the north. Taken with my compact's panoramic setting.

This is an experiment in at least two ways. I had never grown Cleome, until this summer, when I came across some plants in a self-service, roadside stall in a village near Lewes. They have done really well. They are strange flowers. They grow out from the centre and as each ring of flowers dies off they form the long seeds, that look like little sparklers. The second bit of experimentation is that the photo was one of the first taken by me on a 'smart' phone. Thirdly it is the first upload direct from said smart phone, which is why it is a bit fuzzy - no sharpening. I am sure that there are apps to process images on the phone, but I am struggling to find my way around the basics!

The wispy bits at the front of the view are splashes, not plants!
