'Do you want to go to the seaside?'

I often find myself pottering about

 with a camera taking photographs of

 everything. I have also found I have been listening to an unholy amount of Fleetwood Mac, but I am not going to take loads of pictures of them. One day I pottered down 

to the beach and took some

 photographs.

This is water leaking through one

 of the tide breakers. The noise of

the water made me need a wee.

I love living by the sea and stories about the sea. I remember when I was little by dad Damian, reading a story called 'The Mouse hole cat', about a village in Cornwall (the name of which I cannot spell) s

omething like Mousa. Mouse with an /a/ at the end.

Alas I digress.

Mermaid pottery.

And some stones.

I have fo

und some interesting things on the beach. Bits of glass, pottery, trollies, bottles, hats is a popular one, dead fish, one time me and my friend Callum went down to the beach really early in the morning and found a large dead seal.

And last year a large boat carrying biscuits was washed up, 'The River Dance' was its name. It looked eire in the dark. Its gone now.

Fleetwood pier

Possibly one of the last photos of Fleetwood pier ever taken as about 3 days later it burnt down.

It is rare I venture to Fleetwood but when I do I make sure I get some evidence.

I like the structure of the, 'Once was', pier. A homeless man lived underneath this pier. I don't know where he lives now.

Pilling sands

This is almost as north as you can get as far as the Fylde beach area goes. The largest village in England, Pilling. Its only the largest because each house is about 3 miles apart and comes with 100 acres of land. Maybe an exaggeration. This over looks Pilling sands and right over Hashem docks and Cumbria. That boat is leaving Hashem to go the Isle of Mann. I love the way t

he clouds and the sky fall into each other.

I don't really paint land or seascapes but my friend Jenny can paint beautiful ones.

Manya night a couple of my friends pick me up in their car and we drive down to the beach and watch this sight. 

The sea is one of my favorite places and a great inspiration to me, even if its not the sea that I am painting.
