Clacton on Sea

Had to photograph a Granny in Clacton, far from West Berks on yesterday's day of storms. Blown over trucks and lorries littered the roads, some motorways were closed, railways out. Everywhere lines of lorries parked in laybyes waiting for the wind to subside. A man unconcious on a pavement in Clacton wrapped in a policeman's day-glo visibility jacket, worried faces crouched around him, waiting for an ambulance. Clacton didn't even manage to achieve that depressing (but somehow appealing) gloom of Englsh sea side towns in winter. Just a line of holiday flats along a shore. The only building of interest was being allowed to rot away over a Weatherspoons pub.
