Sunrise over Galveston Pier — in Galveston, TX. Have to say I don’t like getting up early for sunrise shots, but was my last morning in Texas and decided it was now or never. So set my alarm for 4.30am and took the 40 minute drive from League city into Galveston.

Whilst walking around Hastings I came across this cool second hand shop in one of the back turnings near the church. They had this cool looking skeleton dressed up. I think I actually went past this shop 4 or 5 times during the day, each time trying to get a better picture. The shop owner must of thought I was a weirdo

There are many unusual and eclectic things to find in Hastings from the locals to the shops and streets and a very friendly atmosphere. I ended up chatting to a lady on the beach for the best part on an hour but had go and take some photos!
Here’s a great looking shop I found wandering around Hastings town ‘Up the garden path’, I think they sell bits and bobs for your garden.

I just had a bit of fun with this fun as the fat red apple was just asking for it
This photo is taken along the Hastings sea front near to the fair going towards their castle thingy they have down there. Have to say really interesting place Hastings is, very much the British seaside location you imagine from the days of old.

Here’s another photo from my day at Hastings, looking from the other side with the rocks and pier in the background.
This was shot as three exposures with a couple of ND filters I think ND8 and ND4 at F22 and then processed with Nik color Efex.
