these barriers are temporary and a seasonal fixture. They are there to contain the sand and stop it from invading the promenade.

I have become slightly obsessed with gates, fences and barriers of all kinds. not a soul for miles on this early morning

locked gate

rust

off season and at dusk they take on a special quality.

lights on the promenade

theatre

a really lucky shot, makes as much sense either way up. caught this when out walking my dogs

mirror mirror

barbed wire and wood

mist and light

love the quality of light. Wonder who is being warned and of what?

betsy- bubbles at dusk

when you live here you pay close attention...its an ever present threat and fascinating to watch

this was taken on a freezing cold winter evening waiting outside in a socially distanced queue, Mr Chips Gorleston High Street. Superb.

fish and chip shop

when we first moved here these were nearly as tall as me. the beach and coastline are constantly in flux. nothing fixed, nothing permanent

i love the glow of these things. i have always liked the glow of buses at night when only a few people in them. have always it comforting

street light

waiting

to keep people out or to keep something in?

spaces that should be occupied but are not...

liminal or what?

beyond the light

good question

stone

tilted bollard

sign of the times

fence

not really a crater, just the aftermath of high tide creating a temporary lake

crater

very fond of this one, I like the quality of light.

vantage point. view through the gap

empty places often seem to me that they are waiting for something or someone...

waiting

near the edge of the world. in another 150 metres or so there's nowhere else to go. wonderful feeling of solitude in the early morning.

close to the edge

after exceptionally high tide and heavy rainfall temporary pools are created. sometimes lasting a few days

pool is bigger than the sea

Christmas card?

love the interplay of Water, Sky, and Sand

clouds light and water

sometimes flowers of remembrance are placed on the benches. sometimes real but often artificial.

observation point at the end of the pier 'Eyes along the Coast' is the strapline on the front of the building.

red line

Strange positioning. if the Benches faced each other people could talk to each other but as it is...

waiting for who...

the light here is often fantastic, reminds me of Iceland
