Southern end of Cleethorpes.
The object on the horizon just to the left of centre is Bull Sand Fort, which situated 2.4km off Spurn Head (land at extreme left of picture). Bull Sand Fort has a companion on this side of the Humber, located a bit further south. They were started as WWI defences but were only completed in 1919. They did see active service in WWII as anti submarine defences.

Tide's In
But only just - it was going out and soon the familiar expanses of mud flats had been revealed.

Summer Has Arrived
The clouds cleared and temperatures soared into the 20s yesterday: the warmest it's been since March!
The low building housing the Prezzo restaurant was designed by local architect Sam Scorer whose signature style was the hyperbolic paraboloid roofline. When built in 1959, the building was a car showroom.

At the top end of this lane is Lincoln Cathedral. Back down the hill is a steep path to Lindum Road, the Usher gallery and the western side of the city centre.

Exchange Arcade
This is one of two branches of Waterstones in Lincoln, the other being on the High St about 200m away. I prefer the coffee at this branch, but the other branch (formerly an Ottakars) is a bit larger and has a wider selection of books.
This building was the Corn Exchange and dates back to the mid 19th century.

I'm quite pleased with this action shot taken at moderate telephoto (85mm equivalent) and a relatively slow shutter speed of 1/60th second.

This is a field of rapeseed with its characteristic seasonal yellow flowers.
