Southwold pier

Whilst a complete imaginary blog post was written in my head whilst walking to work, it seems that tonight, I have no words left.

Pressing on with posting, in the hope that sometime soon order will be restored.

such marvellous clarity. feels like i could reach out and touch those buildings on the pier. and i like the rush of the waves in the foreground

[Kahsia]

What are the buildings out on the pier? They almost look like homes, but then there are a lot of people out on the pier.

What a great image - manmade and natural all in one.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Cool picture, those buildings on the pier are really interesting!

[Babs]

Lovely composition. I really like the rolling waves. The pier looks a popular spot too. What are the buildings. I guess they may be shops or cafes.

[Chris K]

Did you get wet feet? The breaking wave looks quite big and it really makes a great picture with that lovely pier in the background.

@pistache @moonmtn @dide @domenicododaro @onewing @cruiser @flowerfairyann @suzanne234 thank you all for your lovely comments (and for sticking with me when I'm not being very responsive to your wonderfully creative projects) I managed not to get wet here, despite the proximity of the waves, and the buildings on the pier house cafes, shops, and an alternative amusement arcade with activities such as 'bash the banker' and 'crossing a motorway with a zimmer frame' There is also a rather splendid water clock designed to showcase recycling. Also, if you get your fish and chips from the pier on the first Saturday of any month, they are gluten free. Classy pier eh?

I love that you're on eye-level with the pier surface so that it is wafer-thin and we can see straight through the "legs"

[Marloes]

Instant fav for this vibrant comp.

i love the juxtaposition of the very static and quite graphic pier against the powerful foreground waves.. for me, the triangular composition is very dynamic and arresting - it is quite compelling, the eye just has to follow those fabulous lines, both real and implied.. i, also, like the negative space above the pier - it gives somewhere for the energy to dissipate. Helen, i think super image this oozes vibrancy and class..
