About 4 years ago I visited Canvey Island for the first time and really enjoyed walking around its town and its Industrial area. I had to deliver some equipment to Southend just before Christmas and, because the weather wasn’t great, I dodged the beach at Westcliff on Sea (well, the
I spent an incredibly blowy afternoon walking amongst the boats at Thorpe Bay this afternoon. I had hoped to be able to get some nice long exposures with great reflections in the water, but that wasn’t to be with the gale blowing in from the sea. Still, I was able
