Dungeness Kent

September 11, 2016

The sun was shining and the sea was calling but where to go.

I'd always wanted to see Dungeness, so off we went.



It was very windy and quite extraordinary. Edward Hopper's paintings came to mind as there was an odd stillness, despite the wind, coupled with a sort of uneasy silence and a hint of tension.




"The Zombie Apocolypse" L said - clearly it wasn't what she was expecting by a trip to the beach!



Amongst the rotting timber, corroding metal and shingle some plants were thriving.

EDF's two nuclear power stations - one closed, the other with a renewed license.




Fishermen live in the hamlet and there is an RSPB bird reserve. The birds were hunkered down, facing into the wind. What must Dungeness be like in a gale?

The British weather had been kind; the sunshine had kept us warm and the light had been amazing for photography. However the warmth of home, snuggling on the sofa with a hot drink, beckoned. It was time to get in out of the wind.
