Shoeburyness 2
Today’s photo: Another long exposure shot taken near Southend, UK, at Shoeburyness.

I apologize to my overseas and younger readers for whom this is all nonsense.

    Click to enlarge Another Shot from Bo-Kaap. This is again untweaked – these are the colours straight from the camera. I broke my usual rule on not photographing people on mobile phones with this shot – because the colours worked, and the phone is not visible, indeed it could just be his finely turned calves…
