I saw this on the news and it was so sad to see it destroyed, we used to go there for school trips when I lived in England. They did not say on our news why it caught fire, do they know?
I am getting confused with piers, this pier was destroyed some years ago, is that right? Weston Super Mare has recently burnt down? It's so sad, I grew up in the North West so we had Southport, Blackpool and Llandudno piers.They have a magic all of their own. This is a great image that you have created, it reminds me of Whistler, very moody.
I love The Piers too Louise...how sad that in the future the original ones will all have gone. There is always a quietness on the Piers even above all the noise that is happening. Carol x
I lived in Brighton for three years, about 15 years ago. I was always very fond of the West pier, even in its state of decay. I could swear I heard a band playing in the wind that whistled through it....
such a sad and a little creepy picture, it has sense of death all around it, oh what a jolly little comment, sorry I did not mean it like that...it has its own beauty...yes that reads better....

THE WASHING-UP SONG ...
Sing a song of washing-up, water hot as hot, cups and saucers, plates and spoons, dishes such a lot!
Work the dish-mop round and round, wash them clean as clean, polish with a dry white cloth, how busy have we been!

DOMESTIC ECONOMY ...
I will have few cooking pots, they shall be bright, they shall reflect to blinding God's straight light.
I will have four garments, they shall be clean, my service shall be good, though my diet mean.
Then I shall have excess to give to the poor, and right to counsel beggars at my door.

A NICE CUP OF TEA ...
I like a nice cup of tea in the morning, just to start the day you see, and at half-past eleven, well my idea of heaven, is a nice cup of tea.
I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner, and a nice cup of tea with my tea, and when it’s time for bed, there’s a lot to be said, for a nice cup of tea!

You are logical, analytical, and rational. You have good verbal skills. Bold and daring, you're not afraid to change your life if you think it needs an overhaul. Practical and down to earth, you're a doer not a dreamer. You rather get something done than think about it all day. Your emotions tend to be nervous and potent. Your energy, both positive and negative, deeply impacts your life - Copy and paste this link to try the quiz for yourself - http://www.blogthings.com/whatdoyourhandssayaboutyouquiz

Great image but sad too. I love piers and it's so sad there are so few left. I think there is a British Pier Society.

I went to Brighton only last week. Why is it that it seems to always be historical features that this happens to and never horrid new buildings?

black and white photography just really sets the mood, doesn't it? Very nice photo.
It looks like a very old photo! I like it. xx
A sad story, but a very effective picture. Thanks also for the info re the process you used in Photoshop.
