The Couple

An iffy day in February, the rain had just started...

Nice one Sid there could well be a duplicate of this shot at Bognor this Easter according to the forecast.

Very effective composition Nigel and the mono treatment adds to the bleakness of the scene.

I went to Bognor Regis once and came away thinking it was more "Bog" than "Regis".

Thanks both for you comments.

Poor old Bognor, it's never quite gotten over George V's alleged 'B*gger Bognor' comment which seems to be more urban myth than reality... Unfortunately I think it's also never really managed to compete with Worthing and Brighton and the arrival of the package holiday just made things worse.

Nice capture.
If that had been here (Clacton On Sea) it would have been a couple of Chavs holding cans of Stella on the sea wall

Thanks Jeff, we get our share of chavs too - though the tins are more usually a Polish or other eastern Europe brew.
