Beside the sea, January and February 2022


I haven't been doing many Blogs lately, but I am still taking photos. These were all taken in Deal and Walmer in January and February this year. We have an amazing seafront promenade, which is a great place to enjoy taking photos at any time of the year. 


Beautiful calm day in January, the sea was looking its best, so was the Pier :)


The Lady Irene, a permanent feature on Deal Beach, sadly with no masts. One of the best photos I have ever taken is of this boat in the snow. It is lovely to see her still here :)


Self sown plants growing in the shingle.  Notice the amazing dark blue line of the sea on the horizon.


 Deal was originally called Dola, meaning 'a low open plain by the seashore', hence the name of this boat.


Walmer Seafront again, an amazing sky.


Look at those wonderful clouds.


February sunshine, the beach huts, Walmer. 


More beach huts, this time with the sun going down.


Evening sunshine again, the promenade in this direction goes to the North end of the town, then  a further walk goes on across the Golf Course to Sandwich Bay.


Old and new Beach Huts.


Looking North across Walmer Green, the bandstand built in memory of the 11 musicians who died in the suspected IRA bombing at Deal Barracks in September 1989. 


February, note the puddles on the walkways. Earlier in the morning it had been raining really heavily, but the sun came out in time for a lovely walk home.


One of the older huts on Walmer Beach.


A glorious sky after all the rain. The promenade going South, this stretches to Kingsdown, passing Walmer Castle on the way.


Beautiful cloud formations.


One last lovely cloud photo :) We are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
