I’ve managed to visit Brighton no less than twice in the last two weeks, and both times have been blessed with wonderful weather (unlike my rain-lashed trip to Bognor Regis earlier this year).
Naturally, I had my cameras with me (a Ricoh GR and Olympus OM-D EM-5II if you’re interested) and snapped away as I walked five miles or so along the sea front and back.
I walked down from the station and past the splendid Royal Pavilion.
With soaring domes and minarets, the Pavilion is built in the Indo-Saracenic style that was popular in India for most of the 19th century, and is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building from 1815.
