Or maybe a paddle in the shell pool?

Nice. Looks fairly quiet there, though?

It was very early,     the youths in Southend dont surface until lunch time.

thanks Mr B.    Still the wind was blowing in that shot and it was a bleak day.

You disguised that well

AEB 3 + 1 stop stop of exposure will do that.

Remarkable shot of that amusement park DA.    Was it even open yet as I don't see anybody there?

Nice shot.  Don't think I've ever seen a shell pool.

No it wasnt open,   I got there early for the big ship and it seemed rude not to take a couple of the area.    Frustratingly I forgot I wanted to do a new vs old until today.  And of course they dont align too well.

In the picture there is a building by the pool,   it's called the three shells,  and originally it looked like three shells,  they sell ice cream, candy floss, donughts etc.   They were behind closing off a section of the water to trap the sea when it goes out for little kids to play,  thus its name.

Now I get it.    Sorry, I appear to be a bit fog headed this morning.

Looks like that could be a nice place to spend a day on. It has been a while since the last time I visited an amusement park. Maybe this summer? (Though I guess I'll have to settle to one of the parks located here in Finland)

Very nice captures!

no worries,  go have an extra coffee.

many thanks Peter.

many thanks Peter.

No problem.
I had a lot to catch up

I tried the extra coffee.  Unfortunately, I should have gone back to bad and tried to restart the day as the fog headedness stayed with me for a while.

We all have days like that,   I cooked the beer ribs last night,   and as they weren't ready I left on them on the grill for a bit longer and started to eat and then managed to cremate them.   I will be trying again.

Yikes, nothing worse than overcooked ribs.  Happens to all of us at one time or another as it is so easy to get distracted.

It's been ages since I burnt anything that badly,     Oh well I can try again.

Too bad the foxes weren't around as no doubt they'd not turn down the burnt ribs.  

I'm sure your next try will be much more successful.

I must confess I didnt think to leave them out for them,  I have been leaving other scraps occasionally out and they always go.

Oh well, don't want to spoil the foxes too much.  

Good news is the foxes will keep rabbits out of your garden.

We dont get rabbits fortunately.  The MIL gets foxes, rabbits, badger and deer in hers regularly and the foxes only seem to go for the pigeons,  Ive caught them on camera many times just ignoring the rabbits.

That's really odd.  Foxes here tear up every rabbit they see.

Im sure they do in the wild,  but dustbins and scraps are much easier here.

  Gotcha.  So obviously they take the easy route.

I would take the ride
