As well as sea fishing from boats, fishing from the shore is popular from Hove seafront round to the Marina. Depending on the season, some of the species caught are mackerel, plaice and bass.

Stand-off
There's a lot of traffic trying to get up and down Hove Street this morning - a section of Kingsway, the main coast road, has been blocked off by police cars (you can see one car near the centre of the photo, just to the left, plus a couple of policewomen in yellow high-visibility jackets). According to the local paper website, there's a stand-off going on between police and a burglar who's perched on a third-floor window ledge of a house in St Aubyns, two streets away.
ETA - the stand-off resolved.

Where's Batman?
The annual Sussex Beacon Half Marathon took place this morning. The 13-mile route starts in Madeira Drive, Brighton, and continues through the city centre, along the seafront to Hove, out past Brighton Marina and then back to the finish at Madeira Drive. About 5000 runners took part, raising money for the Sussex Beacon. Some of the runners wore fancy dress; I can see Robin near the front, but where's Batman?

Weather worn
Living close to the sea for the first time in my life, it's fascinating to see how salt corrodes metal and destroys paint and woodwork.

Zilli Brasserie
Zilli Brasserie is directly opposite Brighton's Jubilee Library - Zilli, a branch of Pizza Express and the library form three sides of a square; the fourth side is Jubilee Street.

One of my favourite places
The award-winning Jubilee Library, Jubilee Street, Brighton; not only a brilliant library but a pleasant place to linger, read the daily papers and do a little knitting. I took several shots from the same angle - the building is at its best in strong sunlight - this version has a couple of street sweepers (these days, I think we're supposed to call them 'cleansing operators' or some such PC name) adding touches of colour to the deep shadow on the right.

The Peace Statue
Residents of both Brighton and Hove contributed to the fund to build a memorial to Edward VII after his death in 1910. The memorial, built on the Brighton/Hove boundary and topped by an angel holding an orb and an olive branch, was unveiled in 1912 and is known as the Peace Statue.

Dark sky, silver sea
Snow is forecast and the light is very strange this morning - the sky looks almost black but the sunlit sea is sparkling and silvery.
