An empty boardwalk and beach; a kite is caught on a line of string lights.
An amusement pier with a Ferris wheel, seen from above the shoreline.A pale tower rising behind a curved wall of blue glass.
Cloud shadows on a blank white wall behind a row of lamp posts, in black and white.A yellow bulldozer at the water's edge beyond dune grass.
Mannequins in pastel tracksuits outside a shop window lettered 'Homemade fudge' and 'Hot roasted nuts'.A squirrel on a weathered boardwalk beside a steel rail.
A narrow lane between pastel-painted shopfronts.A Victorian porch hung with pink bows and mirror balls.
Two shop windows full of soft toys in a red brick wall, under black awnings.A boardwalk ramp zigzagging toward a distant lighthouse.
A row of benches on the sand in low sun; two people sit on one, facing the sea.
A lighthouse seen through tall reeds under a clouded sky.
The sun low over the sea under heavy cloud, a wreck on the horizon.The sun setting over the sea beside a half-sunken wreck; a person stands on the jetty.
