Thought you'd been abducted by aliens Vic. Nice shot. Like the textures and tones. Where is it? Has a bit of a Dungeness look about it but I don't they worked leather down there.

thanks chaps, I have been around a little only when the aliens let me though. Yes it is Dungeness Pete I do like it down there, seems I'm always lucky with shots when I visit there. Myself and Alix when for a little visit there a few weeks back. The target was really Samphire Hoe but we went here first, sky was rather boring and a hour or so before the good light, but I managed to get a few that I'm reasonably happy with.

From 10-21 years of age I lived in Bexhill-on-Sea and so went out to Rye and Dungeness a lot, especially when I started riding motorcycles (although a friend and I used to cycle there most weekends when I was in my mid to late teens). Have always loved the place. It always feels a bit abandoned and the lighting can often be pretty special. Now my mother is dead I don't have a reason to go down that way any more but I really must.
This was shot there by my friend Solveig (I'm on the right!!).

Not having much sunny weather here before the inventions of the sun bead and spray tan we used to take a dip in the tannery vat.

Your shorter than I expects Pete
Great shot Vic, not what I was expecting to see either

And much smaller - he was dressed head to toe in black though, and wearing a trench coat as expected...
I was surprised that the shot wasn't cropped to a square - but maybe this was taken before Pete honed his Church of Squareology pitch?
Joking aside - that's a gorgeous 'big sky' Pete - I love shots like that - props to Solveig
