The jetty, the pier and beyond

A very big thank you to everyone who looks at/comments on/faves my photos. It's a privilege to 'meet' such a friendly, supportive bunch of people.

The sun was shining with all its springtime might when we got up this morning, so we decided to go to the supermarket the long way round and went to Southend for lunch and a walk along the waterfront. It was chilly and the sky more cloudy than when we left home but it made a smashing day out.
Southend's about 70 miles away from us, so the long way round to the supermarket was quite a long way round. :-D
This is looking towards Southend pier and (probaby) the Isle of Grain on the other side of the Thames estuary.

Love the way the sun is shining on the water Alison. Looks like a great day weather wise!!

Great pov and composition. Liking the railings in the foreground, just leads your eye right into the picture. My faviourite is water sparking when the sun is on it.

What a beautiful photo! Love the sun bouncing off the water and the two sets of railings - the boat is just a neat extra touch. Great clarity in your detail - I really like this picture.

A beautiful composition. I love the sparkling sea. I just want to lean against those railings.

Yep, very long way round. Did you get to the supermarket at all? Lovely day, but somehow you can see that it is still cool?

@bigsusan55 Lol! We did get to the supermarket. It was either that or go hungry. :-)
