Description
You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born...
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
* ----------------------- *
Eastbourne, a popular seaside destination, is located on the south coast of England. This is a favorite place of mine, often visited en route to Beachy Head.
Films such as Agatha Christie's Poirot episode Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan" and Brighton Rock were set here.
While this beach scene really was captured on an August afternoon, it does seem hard to believe this was taken in high summer. It may have been a cool spell, after some rainy days; I truly don't remember now. There are no swimsuits here, and the beach is relatively quiet. It almost looks like a spring season scene, with people wading in the water, impatient for the hot holiday season to begin .... when summer is almost, but not quite, there.
