Sunset

A visit to Brighton wouldn't be complete without a quick check on the state of the West Pier.

The sun was setting as we drove past, and the starlings were caught up in their evening flight.

It's still beautiful. Broken but beautiful.

Decadence

How is it that despite being a regular visitor to Brighton for a decade I've never been inside the Royal Pavilion? Today Emma and I set that right.

Indian on the outside; Chinese with Egyptian influences on the inside; all seen through the eyes of 18th century British craftsmen - this is one mixed up building. Built as a palace of entertainment for George IV, the Pavilion's decadence and quirkiness should come as no surprise.

The exterior is peculiar; the interior is stunning. Well worth a visit.
