I have previously posted the classic view of the old pier at Swanage, but this angle is often overlooked. With the tide at this level you can see how the wooden supports have rotted away over time. I just wonder how much longer they will be there.
There may be another posting gap, as I am due to go to Italy for a couple of weeks. Hopefully I will come back with a few images to share along with the normal holiday snaps. Fingers crossed…
I see the future.
A crystal ball on the pier.
Lives turned upside down.
The pier boardwalk is lined with small plaques remembering peole who have enjoyed the pier, or the area. In the ball you can see the names of one such couple – Irene and Frank, whose lives have literally been turned upside down in the reflection. Sometimes it is scary how well the images lend themselves to the lines.
This is another image from my day in Swanage with Digital Camera Magazine.
The pier would appear
to be no longer found here.
Where it stood is clear.
Possibly one of the most photographed piers in England. The old pier at Swanage. I took this whilst on a photo competition day with Digital Camera Magazine. Unfortunately the other person in the contest failed to show, so I won every round and had the magazine article to myself.
