I went for a walk down to the seafront in Hastings after lunch today. The late afternoon sun was beautiful, if rather cold. Here’s one of the local fishing boats, just recently returned from a day out working. I actually saw some fishermen carrying their catch off another boat later.

There’s no harbour at Hastings so all the boats have to be pushed in and hauled back out every day. That’s what the little tractors in the photos below are for.

I spent ages faffing about trying to take macro shots of stones on the shore. This was the best of the bunch. The bokeh makes it look like the beach is covered in gold.

More of the same below. One day I may try to get up early enough to watch the boats being launched. I’ll leave that till the summer perhaps.
