The Seafront at Lowestoft II

With summer drawing to a close it is comforting to know that there still may be occasionaly sunny days and bright afternoons in the months to come. This picture was actually taken last December, on a day when the sun shone defiantly and warmed the seafront to such an extent that ice-creams and doughnuts (so integral a part of the summer seaside life) made a brief re-appearance. Here I particularly like the way the "ice creams" appear almost to float in the sky, but there are other quintessentially English details that make me smile, like the refreshment station for dogs and the diverse items on the menu. I also like the way the promenade stretches into the distance and the little wedge of silver sea. It captures, for me, a particular moment and atmosphere. Location: Lowestoft, England
