England, Day 3

April 25, 2026 · England 2026, day 4 of 6

Jasper and I wanted to see the windfarm close to Brighton since a while. We went there today.

We went with Brighton Diver and my expectations have been exceeded. Once back from the tour we went strolling a long the pier and getting fries at BeFries.

At The Marina#

View from above of a man in dark workwear hosing down the deck of a fishing and sightseeing boat tied up at a pontoon, with mooring lines and ropes around the deck

A blue corrugated metal boat house with closed roller door at Brighton Marina, a pink 'NO MOORING' sign on the railing, mast tops and the white cliffs visible in the background

A long concrete sea wall with a small white and rust-stained light tower at the end, against a clear blue sky and turquoise sea

A green conical channel marker buoy floating on calm green water with a small reflection beneath

A small white fishing boat with three people on board returning to harbour past a tall dark sea wall, another boat in the distance

A red metal channel buoy floating in front of a stacked concrete sea wall, with chalk cliffs and the Brighton seafront visible behind

At The Windfarm#

A full offshore wind turbine standing on a yellow transition piece in the sea, three white blades against a clear blue sky, the coast faintly visible on the horizon

Top-down view of a boat's wake, white foam splitting against deep blue-green seawater

Close-up of an offshore wind turbine base with the yellow access platform, ladder and a service crane, marked RM C08, against a blue sky with thin clouds

Close-up of a polished stainless steel mooring cleat on a white boat, with sparkling sun reflections on the dark blue sea behind it

An offshore substation platform from below, blue steel deck supported by a yellow tubular jacket structure rising out of the sea

Back At The Waterfront#

Black and white view of a deserted concrete underpass at a station with two flights of stairs leading up into bright daylight

Large colourful graffiti piece on a concrete utility building reading 'CARTERS' in blue bubble letters with a smiling cartoon character on the right and 'GED RIP 2025' tags above

Black and white view of Brighton seafront promenade with crowds, food stalls, benches and the burnt-out skeleton of the West Pier sitting in the sea behind

Looking straight up at the Brighton i360 observation tower, the glass viewing pod docked at the top reflecting the seafront, against a partly cloudy blue sky

Black and white photograph of a battered, vandalised public phone booth on Brighton seafront, the receiver gone and graffiti scratched into the metal panels, beach and crowds visible behind

Brighton pebble beach in soft afternoon light, calm sea meeting the shoreline at a curved tideline, Brighton Palace Pier far in the distance

Black and white photograph of an ornate Victorian seafront kiosk on Brighton Pier with a domed crown roof, people queuing at the windows

A hand holding a tall pink paper cone of thick-cut chips labelled 'Saucy', sunlit on the seafront with people sitting on benches in the background
