Aldeburgh - The South Lookout

 Weekend stay in Aldeburgh back in at the end of October to celebrate her xx Birthday:) We stayed in the Brudenell Hotel. Very friendly and welcoming. Its rear entrance is directly onto the seafront and just a few hundred yards away is 'The South Lookout', an amazing building. We walked passed it on the second day whilst it was bathed in beautiful light.

RAF Upper Heyford - In Mono

This trip Sue and I took dates back to June 2018. It was a Cambridge Camera Club Out and About trip, I cannot remember who organised the trip, but Thank You.

The site is interesting.

According to Wikipedia.

• Opened 1918 by RAF
• Second World War - Occupied by Bomber Command 
• During the Cold War chosen to house USAF Air Command (SAC) 1965 - 1966
• From 1966 United States Airforce in Eurpo (USAFE) Tactical reconnaissance
• 1970 F-111 strike aircraft
• September 1994 USAF returned ownership to the British Ministry of Defence
• Site has a home for wildlife, automotive storage, driving activities, boat building ....
• Many buildings still boded up - unclear what will happen
• Several Hardened Shelters were placed on English Heritage List of Scheduled Monuments in 2010
• 2011 Bid made for World Heritage Site failed (Shame :((( )
• Tours are now run by American Personnel - which is how we came to be there :)

I personally enjoyed the trip. We were briefed by the tour guides and then taken on a minibus tour of parts of the site.

I loved the decay and history of the site.

Margate Dreamland Street Photography - August

Margates Dreamland Amusement Park was reopened in 2015. It is an iconic seaside amusement park.

Wikipedia starts off by saying ...

Dreamland Margate is an amusement park, entertainment and amusement centre located in Margate, Kent, England. The site of the park was first used for amusement rides in 1880, although the Dreamland name was not used until 1920 when the park's Grade II* listed Scenic Railway wooden rollercoaster was opened.

While visiting my Son on August Bank holiday, we decided to take a walk around the amusement park. A very good opportunity to practice Street Photography.

I decided to convert this set of images to monochrome as I felt it suited the street photography genre better on this occasion. There are a few images (the first and last three that were taken just outside Dreamland)
