File:Eastbourne Panorama, England - May 2009.jpg[edit]

Reason: It's a pretty interesting and detailed view of this English seaside town from a good vantage point. It's not a perfect landscape panorama (the lighting is a bit flat due to the overcast day) and I know it would have been nice to have a clearer view without the trees and grass in the foreground, but trust me, this was the best possible view along the South Downs Way just outside of the town.

  - Also uploaded new version of this image as I felt that, looking at it with fresh eyes, it was a touch overexposed and washed out. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very enc. view of the town. Question about the beach, those are docks that are usable when the tide comes in? Fletcher (talk) 17:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Good question, I've often wondered what the purpose of them is too, but they're not docks. A lot of other British beaches tend to have them - possibly to prevent erosion of the beach? I seem to notice them more on beaches with fairly steep inclines. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 18:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah, they're groynes. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 18:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Word of the day, thanks. I didn't really think they were docks.... Get any good snaps of Beachy Head while you were there? It looks spectacular. Fletcher (talk) 18:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Not Beachy Head, as it was difficult to get a good photo of it while standing on it, but I did take this one of the Seven Sisters cliffs a few miles further along the coast. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
