Kaleidoscopic Mirror

"Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."

(Gilbert K. Chesterton)


Vibrantly painted beach huts reflect in the floodwaters, during the golden-hour of a winter's evening, at Broadsands in Torbay, Devon.

Thanks very much indeed Dr Orloff Beach huts are quintessentially charming echoes of the early 20th century British seaside architecture, especially when there are some vibrant tones amongst them! Loved seeing this in this light, with calm flood waters in front (luckily not deep enough to have damaged any of the building there!)
