The Shore, Binstead

The sign on the path leading down here from the road says "to the shore." Not to the beach, an important difference. A mess of mud, seaweed, shingle and a lot of dead wood, this is a decidedly uncharismatic bit of coastline.

"The Needles" at the Ferry Port

By the pedestrian entrance to the IOW ferry terminal at Fishbourne. A model of the island's famous rocks and lighthouse at the western end. A bit of concrete, a bit of pipe, a bit of paint and a bit of imagination.
