An intriguing but vaguely disturbing image, Gianluca. You're not being held hostage are you?

The Eye of Sauron! Now why didn't I think of that? There's even two towers! Still I was close when I thought that the eye might be an in plain view disguise for a surveillance or facial recognition camara.

Not many tourists milling about this year. Southport isn't exactly teeming with them at the best of times but last year a mass stabbing took place at a dance studio and three children were killed and ten others injured. A protest followed which degenerated into a riot stirred up by right wing...

These happen to be Southport, but similar scenes can be found in many small seaside towns in England. Fujfilm X100s / Monochrome Yellow Filter sim
