Our ‘West Pier’ what’s left of it hanging on in , before todays Storm batters our coast again. The Brighton pier formally ‘Palace Pier’ in the background.
This shot was taken this morning, lying flat on the beach with the dog and his lead wrapped around my leg with my Sony DSC-H20 from a mile or so away in Hove ‘Actually’.
Lucky shot, because the other shots were blurred due to high winds moving me about.

So sad to see such devastation … stay safe Andy
Poor old ‘West Pier’ I know my seafront! Stay well back always, cheers Anita….
Was the main pier damaged? I don’t recall a west pier, but then it was 13 years ago that I visited. Southern England has been battered this winter, I hope it stops soon.
As a kid in the early seventies, I used to swim out to the end of the West Pier and hand surf back to the beach with the incoming tide. The West Pier was a working Pier back then. I was also there on New Year’s Day to witness the Pier burning along with my Jack Russell who is an old boy now…
Thankfully the weather is not so bad in Glasgow.
Hang on to your hats! Just got in from watching the Brighton Game and it’s starting to blow now…
Brilliant Image Andy! Love it 🙂
Thank you Cate, it was really a lucky click of the finger…
No such thing in my experience 🙂 you’re very modest – great picture
Once again, thank you! It really was a lucky point and shoot.
Wow – can’t believe those waves! Glad you and the dog weren’t too close. The last time I took a pic of West Pier the ocean was like glass.
Always keep your distance number one rule, the sea state is particularly bad just now. That sea in the pic hadn’t really picked up then, it was pretty rough though.
A very good rule! Hope they weekend brings a little bit of sunshine.
Hope so too! Thanks for looking in…

Your right!
