Good Morning Sunshine

Good Morning Sunshine

Working in Peacehaven, near Brighton, East Sussex, UK, today. Could not resist watching this Sunrise around 7.30am. From the cliff top in Peacehaven. This shot looks East towards, the Newhaven Harbour wall and the Famous Seven Sisters Cliffs in the distance, with this beautiful stretch of water called the English Channel that separates us from France and the rest of Europe. The grey dot on the horizon to the right of the rising sun is, the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry.

“The Jack” and myself on Hove beach (English Channel), looking back towards Brighton South East, 8am this morning. Storm building up from the South West getting ready to unleash Hell on us later today and tomorrow. Hopefully wont be as bad as the great storm of 1987…

Time to go, if they come!

Wood Slick

This is by far my earliest and largest photographic project.  Most times, its better to show one or two pictures.  I am taking a chance and showing 20 pictures.  The photographs really tell the story and I hope they hold your interest.  I managed to capture these pictures early one morning going along the coast road to work.

The Cargo Ship,  “The Ice Prince” carrying Timber, ran into trouble in rough sea’s near Portland Bill, England in January 2008.  The crew where all rescued by helicopter and lifeboat, before she sank.   Timber, 33ft long planks where washed off the Ship causing a Wood Slick running from West (Portland Bill) to East (Beachy Head and beyond) of the English Channel.  “This is what I saw that morning”.

These shots taken, were on a beach stretch in Worthing a few odd miles West of Brighton & Hove, England.  2000 tonnes, washed up along the coast causing hazards on the beaches and to the shipping lanes.  Anybody lifting timber away were threatened with arrest…
