We went away for a couple of days after Easter to the south coast. Â We were so lucky with the weather, saw a couple of gold ‘supercars’ which I think were owned by the sheik who owns the pier at Eastbourne (and presumably a couple of the hotels given the gold lion touches.
On the final day just before we left we managed to make it on to the pier. Â There was no need to scramble for photos because we were the first visitors on there so I had all the time in the world to take some photos.

It’s so stunning isn’t it? That photo gives it a bit of a haunting look. Hope you had a great time!
Stunning picture, it looks so quiet and peaceful.
The black and white in this image makes it look so calm. We were in Hastings last week and the pier is being rebuilt, I hope to visit that and the Eastbourne one again soon #MySundayPhoto
It works so well in black and white. Wonderful capture. I bet it was lovely having it all to yourself, even for a little while. #MySundayPhoto

I love how you’ve managed to capture the bird in the top right corner!
The pier feels so calm and peaceful. I haven’t been on Eastbourne pier for years.
Thank you for linking up
Love this shot in black and white – it makes it quite atmospheric. How lovely and quiet it looks on the pier 🙂
Beautiful photo, it looks so peaceful and serene. x
That looks so calm and peaceful. The black and white works really well and makes it look like it could have been taken 100 years ago!
Love the photo, it looks like an old postcard and how lucky were you to have it all to yourselves?

Oh wow, just brilliant use of black and white. Love this image a lot.
A lone figure there on the pier, I’ve never seen one so quiet.
How magical to get time alone on the pier – I can feel the quiet in your gorgeous capture.
How amazing to be the only people on the pier. Were you guys up at the crack of dawn?!
Love this shot in its Black & White state with the contrasts of the pier.
Hope you enjoyed time time away

There is something quite gratifying about getting to a spot before anyone else. It reminds me of holidays pre-kids when I would get up at the crack of dawn to take a picture of a bridge or a square somewhere random in Europe while it was still deserted. Those days are long gone now, though!
I have never seen a pier so peaceful. This is a beautiful image 🙂 I hope you had a great time #MySundayPhoto
