my photo manipulated using Photoshop Graphic Pen

a West Sussex landmark ...

The famous Brighton West Pier, ravaged by fire, wind and sea, forgotten.

Acornmoon said...: 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.; 12 August 2008 at 22:57
Twiggy said...: 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.

Carol said...: 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.

Indigo Blue said...: 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?; 13 August 2008 at 13:46
Nikki said...: 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....; 13 August 2008 at 14:42
