Brighton West Pier Sees Red
Red Life Saver in a Sea of White and Grey
The subject of this photograph is pretty rare. Not the West Pier of course, which is one of Brighton's most photographed images, but the snow in the foreground.
It's most unusual for us to get snow here adn a couple of weeks ago I went to be hopeful that I would wake up to a white world, as the flakes were falling heavily. Alas, it was not to be and there was nothing much to speak of by morning.
This photograph was taken a couple of years ago when we actually had enough to take some decent shots.
I love how the red of the life saver really jumps out against the grey and white in the rest of the photo.
It's been really cold lately and there's been snow in other parts of the country, although not for here. It would be fun to get some though so I'm ever hopeful. 😊

Wow, so unusual to see snow up south! We got nothing here in B'ham.
No snow here either @rimicane. This was taken a couple of years ago. 😊
That is really nice with the one dot of red. I hope you get your wish, but in a short dose. It is SO fun to have the white stuff. We don't get it often here either. Though when we do, we call it white cement. Heavy and wet. I have to keep it off my tarp buildings, or it will crush them. Yikes. Onward, to more of the beautiful snows for photography. Have a nice day.
Thank you @ddschteinn. Where do you live then? 😊
In the Northwestern US. A long stones toss from your neck of the woods. Though I suppose it depends on which way you throw it.
Ah. I know that part of the world @ddschteinn. There are some beautiful places there. I lived in Seattle for a while. A long time ago. 😁
I have always loved Seattle. Such a progressive, fun place. I almost moved there years ago, but instead headed for Idaho. Seattle has so much going on, though it is now, sadly, quite congested with traffic. That and Portland. I suppose that's what happens when you have a 'curvy' city (roads), and nowhere else to go. The people kind of stack up on one another.
I was there just before it was announced as 'the' place to live in The States and house prices shot up. Traffic was beginning to be a problem so they built the second bridge which, if I remember rightly, didn't help much. 😂
Portland remained an "unknown" for a good few years after that though.
I had a couple of hours in Settle a few years ago, between flights, and it had changed quite a bit. A lot of my favourite eating places are now chains and Pike Place had become one big tourist trap.
It's in such a brilliant location though. South down the coast, out the the Olympic National Park, skiing just for the day if you want, the islands, up to Canada.
But the you have to deal with the weather. I was find with it but I know a lot of my friends who weren't local hated it. 😂
That is a beautiful photo! I'd be happy to send you some snow, anytime you want it!
It would be great if you could @melinda010100. Just for a few days. 😁
I love how the red really pops out such a cool image
Yep. I feel the same. It's one of my favourites @tattoodjay. 😊
It should be its brilliant
I like the peace and loneliness of the sea in the winter. Very well caught here.
thanks @bluemoon. I like the peace and loneliness of the sea any time of year. 😊
That's true, but at summer, at least where I go, there is no peace.
That's true @bluemoon. Good point! It gets very busy here in the summer too. 😊
I suspected that!
