I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Superb photo! It is so sad to see the death of West Pier.

So you've been in Brighton, too. Now I get to see what's left of the pier I used to walk on (1969-70). Sad. Nice photo of the rest.

I like it!

I like the contrast in the colours.

Wonderful shot - it's too bad that someone could fix that pier.

so many piers disappeared along the Gulf coast when Katrina blew through.
I like the bright colors also and the skeleton of an old pier

Stellar composition in this shot of what looks like desolation, Carin. Glad someone mentioned a pier, otherwise I would never have guessed what that skeletal structure is out in the ocean.

Ag, Hun, I've been here so seldom lately! I just went through your gallery and saw all the wonderful pics you've posted of the bridges and your London scenes. What a joy to see your work! You make me feel like I was there. Love the pebble beach!

Excellent composition leading the eye directly to the pier and man. It really does have a desolate feel to it.

Wonderful composition...

Thank you Andrew. I had no idea...

I'd been a couple of times to Brighton, famous then for its amusements and pier. The excellent capture you've taken here shows a totally different atmosphere, ever more so nostagic and poetical .

Andrew answers my question also, thx! Contrastful colored capture in wonderful sunshine 😃

a stark and almost abstract capture of the beauty of a more abandoned portion of a beach...I don't know the history here, though some above do, and it sounds painful. But your shot focusses on a few things, and they have clarity and great presence, with lots of space around them. And the contrast of hues is beautiful too. A very sensitive shot of a 'moment' in the vastness of an everyday beach...your usual sensitive eye hasn't waned a bit in your absence...

Like the composition Carin. Pity of the pier burning down as Andrew showed in his upload. Outstanding photography. God bless.

I was wondering about that structure in the background....until I saw Andrews insert.... Interesting History. Aloha

I remember the news on the fire, I like your shot sweets, it is a stark reminder that out of disaster, the new can be beautiful.
