Hi Richard,
great capture, the old neptune really glows in the sunlight. I find windfarms out at sea quite appealing. The looks so quite and sustainable. Thanks for sharing
regards
Paul

A nice picture from wholesome, bracing Whitstable, Richard. It's a ood example of Kentish clapboard construction and of a good old English pub. It is full of atmosphere (I can almost smell the beer)and make an attractive picture. I though it looked a bit cold, but then I saw it was taken in January, so, a sunny winter's day. regards kevin

Hello Richard,
A good capture of this interesting old pub which also features in my gallery, though viewed from the other side. I like the angle of view the way the light shines across the façade. The customers bring a nice sense of animation.

This is a nice scene Richard. I like the warmth of the sun on a cold day. The windfarm is a sight we will be seeing in the not so distant future in Brightlingsea. Regards, TW
