Clevedon Pier

Just back from a few days in Somerset where the Clevedon Pier posed against marvellous sunsets on three evenings. I fooled it by going there early in the morning once. I remember Trixie and Bwlchmawr posted wonderful images of this elegant structure a few months ago so I had to give it a try.
It'll take the rest of my life to process all the photos I've taken recently - and I've still got the Edinburgh Fringe looming on the calendar.
Here's some of the first few I've run through Photoshop.
These were taken on the K3 and K5 with DA*s 16-50, 50-135mm and 200mm lenses.

love the drama of the first one, it almost looks Japanese. the others are excellent also. hoping to get down there this year, only live an hour away and never been. there is also an old pier in Weston-Super Mare as well, Birnbeck Pier but not sure how much is left.
odd lens or 2

I don't know why but I just love piers. If I was a gazillionair I'd buy em all and keep them alive.
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

I'm with you, there is just something unique about them.
Whenever I see one I have to go onto it!

Wonderful photos David! No.2 is my favourite

Some gorgeous shots here, David.
If you do win the lottery then do buy Birnbeck Pier in Weston, it's in such a sorry state and may be lost for ever if something's not done soon.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Just about my favorite structures in the world - they are irresistible - and
so many have gone for ever.

Particularly like the second shot David

Really very nice images here David - I especially love No 2 & 4 - 2 has such good balance with all the 'elements', and 4 has a dreamy high key feel. All beautiful!
