I'm very hopeful something comes of this. I'll dig out some of my photo's, it's a truly remarkable structure & I was fortunate enough to be shown around by the chair of the trustees.

After visiting #Birnbeck 10th Jul 23 during a storm, I decided to return. Weather was brighter, drier, but wind[gale] was strong.
Armed with #NikonF90X - sans battery grip, loaded with #RolleiRetro80S #BnW #film #Nikkor50mm f1.8, #MinoltaVILightMeter & #tripod, I proceeded to shoot a whole roll.🙂
Due to raging Anno-Domino, after a few times kneeling down using the tripod my legs were jelly and I was hit by a branch!🤕
However, I managed to keep going with my #FujifilmXT2 #Fuijnon35mmf2RWR.📷

This is another of the images I took yesterday though after the storm had more or less passed and the clouds parted enough to allow some sunshine through

I'm still shooting whilst #sheltering under the triangular overhang - shown in one the pictures below - which is supported by two metal columns, of the shop/tea room near the end of the old #Birnbeck #Pier as the rain deluged down.

Two photographs then, with a #FujifilmXT2 & #Fuijnon35mmf2RWR.

I went out this afternoon headed for #Birnbeck. I got there, parked up and got my gear - a camera /lens I got last week, so still familiarising with them, a #Grolshupp GCS1810 monopod and #Cullman ball & socket. Spots of rain fell!

I took a couple of shots of the old #pier - as the sky darkened, #lightening discharged and #thunder boomed. Then the rain deluged down and I found a tiny place I could, just about, cover under.

Three photographs then, with a #FujifilmXT2 & #Fuijnon35mmf2RWR.
