'Under the pier' by Me

Here's another photo from our lovely day trip to Eastbourne a few weeks ago. I have always wanted to take an under the pier shot and it was so accessible here that I just had to go under and take a few snaps. I love how there's so much going on. So many beams and legs holding it up. I guess there'd have to be really but when you're walking along a pier you don't really think about what's under it. I think this photo works best in black and white too. I think it looks dramatic and interesting.

'What a view' by Me

What a view, a photo by PhotoPuddle on Flickr.

So what did you do this weekend? We went up to Beachy Head in East Sussex and I must say it was truly breaktaking. It was a beautifully sunny day and the views from up were stunning but what made the whole experience even more amazing were the paragliders which were up there. I've never been up close to people paragliding before and as much as I'm not sure I'm brave enough to actually try it myself I can totally see how magical it must feel. The whole time I sat watching them I just felt so calm and peaceful. I could have stayed there for hours.

Here is a photo I took of one of the paragliders with Eastbourne in the background. Technically or artistically it's not one of the best photos I took that day but it probably my favourite as it shows exactly how fantastic the view was.
