Unplanned Disaster?

Going from what I've been seeing lately, town planners seem to be on a different planet to everyone else.

A bit of context is needed for this one. An architect has just released concept plans for luxury flats at Folkestone Harbour (literally a stones throw from my house). But during a weekend-long consultancy, everyone said that it looked like something out of The Flintstones.

Apparently a BBC broadcaster has been accused of paying 16 years old girls for nude photos, that's shortly after a recent sex scandal with another former BBC personality. There seems to be more sordid going ons in Portland Place than in Amsterdam!

A sailing boat called "Thalassa" paid Folkestone Harbour a visit on this muggy Saturday. I actually mingled with people but did find the mixture of smells coming from the dozen food vendors a bit too much of a sensory overload.

Finally caught sight of a locomotive I've never seen before as she stormed through Shakespeare's Cliff at a fair ol' lick of speed. Could have done with some blue sky but at least the ambient lighting was strong enough for fast shutter speed.

Taken hand held on my smartphone from my hobby room window, so not my usual high photography standards but does capture the spooky looking atmosphere.
