Got up early and went out for what ended up being a four hour walk with the camera around Hastings today. Didn’t take as many shots as last week but still think I got a few I’m pleased with. Noticed this tucked away up on the west hill.

Hope you’ve all had a pleasant weekend.
Another shot from last weeks early morning photo walk.
I believe this site was temporarily used as an allotment and the reason for the word grow being on the fence, rather than it being just some random word someone decided to paint. The site now lays empty.

A cool bit of graffiti livens up an otherwise bland corner. Hastings, East Sussex.

Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by.
This is the first cradle (the big round bit) to be built in the UK and can be found at the Boyley skatepark, White rock gardens, Hastings.
The park is named after local BMX rider Richard Ball (known as Boyley) who died in a motorcycle accident in 2002.

Mad Jacks Morris-Who revived the custom back in 1983
May 1st is the start of summer in this part of the world and since the revival of an old custom in 1983 by the Mad Jacks Morris dancers, the first May bank holiday has always been a day of celebration in Hastings. What is Jack in the Green I hear you ask: Well, it’s probably better if I just link to this page here rather than just copy a chunk out of it.
There has been much talk in recent times of moving the May Day bank holiday in order to spread our bank holidays out a bit more as there are a few of them in close proximity. As you can imagine this has upset many people, especially with those involved in the Jack in the Green as it would essentially mean that the event would not be able to happen. With this in mind we made an extra special effort to make sure we got to see the event this year.
So here are a few of my efforts from the day. I hope you enjoy them.
