South Parade Pier

Apologies for another from earlier in the week.
The pier opened in 1879, has burnt down a few times ( recorded famously in 1970s in the film Tommy), been declared unsafe and has only recently become a decent place to visit again. The fish and chip restautant has crystal chandeliers!!

It's a beautiful structure. Looks timeless in black and white.

[Susan Wakely]

The Black & White accentuates the curves of the building.
Not sure if there is still a Fortune Teller on the pier.

This is great Jackie, love the clean lines of the roof and the ordered look of the building against the "chaos" of the sea movement

[Casablanca]

Crystal chandeliers and fish'n'chips. Not a combo you usually find!!

[haskar]

Great shot and processing.

[Carole Sandford]

Sounds a very posh chip shop! Lovely capture.its not always possible to take & post on the same day, unless you are retired or don’t work shifts.

Great shot of the buildings on the pier.

I noticed a while back that you were using macro tubes. My get-pushed challenge for you is to use your macro tubes to create an abstract. If you are adventurous, you can try one of these projects from DPS: https://digital-photography-school.com/how-photograph-sheer-beauty-of-soap-bubbles/ https://digital-photography-school.com/create-abstract-photos-oil-water-dish-soap/

Exceptional crispness and clarity to this one Jackie!

[Shutterbug]

Love the sharp contrast and sharp details.

[Walks @ 7]

Swanky chips - nothing that fancy around here. Very much like the tones and detail.

[william wooderson]

That sounds like a very grand fish and chip shop! Do the prices reflect the surroundings??
