Roker Pier
I love the curve of this Pier. I have no idea why they built it that way, if anyone knows.
December 2010 - I'm very pleased to get the news that this shot won the Landscape category of the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year competition.

don't surpose they built it that way because the civil engineer was into beautiful aesthetics of form.
this is just divine J, it has the elegance of ballet

Thank you guys much appreciated, coming from some of the best photographers around. I wondered like Bob whether it was just built that way for aesthetic reasons, perhaps in an age where seaside towns were trying to get attention... As Joel says it's a gift to photographers!
