Brighton, England, U.K.

Those weird garden-shed-style structures on the boardwalk in the foreground, the stately historic homes and a rather ordinary looking tower block behind them all face the English Channel in Brighton. A quick snap taken toward end-of-day back in mid-May.

Brighton, England, U.K.

Some very politically tinged, classic-feeling street art on one of the quieter streets in Brighton. (Quiet on that mid-May morning, anyhow.)

Brighton, England, U.K.

Slowly but surely making my way through the photos I snapped during a recent trip to parts of England and Wales … here’s another one from Brighton taken a few weeks ago, at the clock tower in city centre.

Stay tuned for more pictures (and maybe a few more words) from the Brighton and London regions, plus Bath and Cardiff too.
