Today I had to drop something off to a friend in Fokestone and I went off, armed with camera, to the 'seaside'. It was such a beautiful morning... a big change from the past few days (as you can tell from the blue sky) and I was excited as I approached, but somewhat unsure of what I was actually going to take a photograph off. I was almost there, and suddenly remembered the Leas Lift, which has just recently been refurbished and re-opened. It's a beautiful old Victorian building, and I am so glad they spent the money to refurbish it or it would have been lost forever. It was opened in 1885 and is one of the oldest water balance cliff lifts in England. Click HERE for more information on the lift. I only took 3 or 4 pictures of this, and felt I had a good shot straight away... look at that blue sky!!! I have not played with the image very much... and did try it in B&W and Sepia.... but I just love the colour too much!!
Fabulous!!! The colour is wonderful and buildings can be hard to get right and you've done such a great job! I'd have been there all day trying to get that right, lol!
ReplyDeleteWell I never. Lived quite close to Folkstone and never knew that building or lift existed! Great shot.
