Things are reaching fever pitch, I'm rushing around trying to get stuff finished before my week off and my brain is working twice as fast. I actually had a dream last night about a solution to a problem and it actually worked! First time for everything.
It'll take me most of the week to relax and then I'll be back to work, it's always the same so I might as well just accept it now, I'm crackers :-/
So on top of this I felt compelled to blog, I guess that whilst you're in this state of mind you get stuff done.
This is the pier at Felixstowe. I had read before I travelled that the pier had become derelict and whilst I was sad that this might be the case I thought it would make a good photo op. However it's not, the front section is still open with the usual £1 a go amusements ( remember the days when a small bag of 2p's would last hours?), the rest is just fenced off. There used to be a huge slide and other rides on here when I was a kid, hours of fun were had on those long hot summer evenings now it's just left to rot until it falls down I guess, a rescue plan was abandoned I read somewhere. Perhaps an MP could declare it a second home, be fixed up in no time ;-)

I'm always torn by the sad state of a lot of our seaside towns - it's a shame that a lot of them are struggling but abandoned piers and fairs are seriously cool photographic matter!
Anyway, cracking shot - love the ghostly skies and vanishing point.
I like this image, it has a very obscure feel of why, when where and what. Its like it shouldn't belong. Bumper cars and a pier and that bendy wire and then the water. The vanishing point is also cool as you cant quite see the end of the pier. And I like the plane that has changed trajectory. Lots in this image.
