Cheerful in red

This weekend, I'm stuck at home with a filthy cold so no new photographs to post. The amaryllis bulb was a Christmas present and it's flowered really well. I think it's such a shame the showy flowers have no perfume.

Snowless

This morning the weather's sunny without a sign of snow even though much of the country is blanketed by the stuff. Maybe later today, according to the Met Office's current yellow warning for London and South East England.

Rinse and repeat...

Another cold and sunny day and tomorrow's forecast indicates that the weather will be much the same. Photo shows the corner of Vallance Gardens and Vallance Road looking towards the Connaught in Hove Street.

Sunny but cold

Promise of spring

Along the road

This is Vallance Gardens, the road named on Friday's street sign, and it's a cold grey day.

Windy...

i360 update

Work continues on Brighton seafront for the i360 observation tower; this photograph was taken on the last day of 2014 looking west with the Alfresco Bar & Restaurant in the distance. More information about the i360 is on the project's website including the latest newsletter.

After the rain

Today, about 2pm, George Street.

Fox running downhill

At first sight, I thought this was a painted fox. Moving closer, I realised that he's made out of painted cardboard stuck to the wall. The fox is outside Starbucks on the corner of Lansdowne Place and Western Road.

Mirror, mirror

Details as last Friday.

Further down the seafront

Walking into Brighton on the same day I took yesterday's photograph in Hove, I passed the remains of Brighton's West Pier.

Looking for treasure

Did they find any, I wonder?

Taken in June, this photograph of clouds reflected in the huge windows of Brighton's Jubilee Library is my favourite one of 2014.
Happy 2015 to you all!
