If you go to Brighton and the surrounding coastal towns you’ll usually see people swimming in the sea early in the morning, even in the cold and rain. It’s easy to see them as crazy, but perhaps they’re just cherrishing the sea whilst they can. My early years I grew up by the sea, so I miss it now and love trips like this to Brighton to see it again.

The original crop of this was landscape and had the pier in, which I liked, but I don’t think it’s a strong enough image to hold up to too many elements, so I lost it for this simpler shot that tells the story more clearly.
