n our Cornwall holiday this year we were only 15 minutes from the beach. If we weren’t walking along the coast to Watergate Beach, we were walking near some other beach.
Here is a selection of seaside shots captured on the iPhone.
Trip to Southwold
had the half-term week off work in October. As we hadn’t had a summer holiday we were trying to go on day trips on the time that I did have available.
We popped up to the North Norfolk coast. We visit the area a lot and usually stay near Cromer.
We walked down to the pier and had some chips. While waiting for the others I saw an elderly chap who appeared to be writing on the barrier which surrounds the pier. I couldn’t really believe that he was doing some graffiti, though that is exactly what it looked like. I walked over to get a closer view and it was then that I realised he wasn’t writing, but cleaning out the engraved lettering on a plaque.
The handrail is covered in memorial plaques, so I had to get a few shots.
After some time on the pier we took a leisurely stroll along the prom and then went into town where we had a chance to look round the church. On the way out I spotted a cat sitting in the porch who seemed quite content to let me stroke him and take a few snaps.
Visit to Eastbourne
y dad, brother and sister live in Eastbourne. We don’t get down there enough, but it was nice to have a visit this September.
The weather was great, so we went for a walk along the sea front.
Trip to Aldeburgh
Trip to Aldeburgh
n September the family had a day trip out to Suffolk, to one of our favourite places in the country, Aldeburgh. Jane and I used to go there before we had a family. It was in Aldeburgh that our interest in family history began when we visited a genealogy stall at a fete in aid of the local lifeboat.
As usual, I was allowed off on my own for an hour or two to take some shots, naturally I took a few on the iPhone as well as m DSLR.
Some of them were taken with one the HDR Apps, the tractor on the beach and the shot of the white and orange boat “LT336” which has done quite well in a couple of camera club competitions.
All the shots here were processed on the iPad.
Visit to Overstrand
e popped up to Overstrand on the north Norfolk Coast this week.
It’s one of our favourite destinations and we always enjoy walks along the beach to Cromer.
Trip to Brighton
e went down to Brighton to see family. It poured with rain but we went for a walk on the pier, and had an ice cream all the same.
