Today I went for the first time since last year to Eastbourne's sea front. The weather had cleared up and the sun came out.
The seafront was as beautiful as each year, with a new colorful flower pattern .
I love the old buildings along the sea, if the cars would be replaced by coaches I could think I am in another century.

and the beautiful pier from one side
and the other
There were lots of people walking and sitting along the seafront.
And as each year I met my friends the seagulls still so naughty as usual. I was sitting on the terrace of a little café just in front of the sea, eating a sandwich when felt a punch on my head ! I thought it was somebody's elbow but no, it was a seagull who had taken my head as a landing strip ! The shock was quiet hard and I was very surprised, but I clinged to my sandwich ! Poor seagull had to dive on another person.
Hi Gattina .. you have some good shots of the seafront .. the plants have 'shot' up a few days ago they were still just so small with no flowers in sight ..
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a happy day .. see you tomorrow! Cheers Hilary
Beautiful post of these magnificent architecture, the images are so inspired and colorful and you're right, it came to my mind the film Somewhere in Time! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteGood that you managed to keep tight to your sandwich! Love the image of the pier and people strolling along!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like lovely weather over there. It's quite wet over here, although the temperatures are still nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies and flowers!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteGattina 1. Seagull 0. English piers are great, but Eastbourne's look to be extra good. I wonder how much it is to stay at the Claremont.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place! Especially the pier. I looked at your paintings too. Very nice. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I was staying just down the road from there.
ReplyDeleteMy great-grandson is afraid of big birds because one "taked my french fry" as he says. (You'd think it was his last bit of food and of course it wasn't but he took it quite personally!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot that is.
Oh, by the sea, by the beautiful sea...another reason I want to visit England again. I missed so many lovely places when traveling with my family.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous, Gattina.

Great shots but the seagull story was funny.
ReplyDeleteThey are such daring birds and work in packs. One does the work and the other the eating. lol
You've got some beautiful shots there Gattina!Good thing you managed to hang on to your sandwich - I once saw a seagull fly off with somebody's sandwich!
