To those people who have been to Clacton, Clacton-on-Sea to give it its full name may not hold the place in high regard. It is an English seaside town about 90 minutes by train from London. Like many seaside towns, in fact not just seaside towns, it has its problems. Clacton was always an employment black spot; the day trippers do not contribute a great deal to sustain a tourist business. The pier and amusement arcades take over one place which creates a 'tacky' atmosphere. But relaxing being by the sea is all the same. To be able to stroll along the seafront is nice. The camera has caught a nice moment in what was a blustery day. To be able to walk, jog or cycle along the coast is nice and invigorating and makes a nice change from the photochemical smog pool of London. Yet to meet up with wonderful long standing friends makes a nice day break a wonderful day trip. Below is the pier from the north just after sun had set.
