Margate Beach

MARGATE, Kent, UK: 21 May 2020: Visitors to Margate's Main Sands beach surrounded by white cliffs during the heatwave in Britain.

I have really been struggling with a slump in my photography, i had no enthusiasm to get out and found it a real struggle. Tonight i decided i had to get out and shoot, i gathered all my gear, jumped in the car and headed out to capture Sunset at Margate, Kent.

I parked a few streets away and walked down to the seafront and thus avoided any car parking charges
