  1. This one is my #MeerMittwoch from beautiful Brighton, my former home that I revisited last week. First it was the West Pier, a once magnificent structure filled with culture and dancing. Then it became the Wet Pie, mostly inhabited by seabirds and cut off from the land. Now its a burnt out frame and serves as a backdrop for a fantastic starling murmuration on occasions through the year, with the sometimes sparkling sea below.

  6. From a 2012 visit to Brighton for #MeerMittwoch today, here's the beach and a view of the famous West Pier. This was England's first Grade I Listed pier, opened in 1866 but closed in 1973 for safety reasons, deteriorating from then on, suffering more damage in 1987 with the storm that hit the country, then being hit by three suspicious fires in 2003 that gutted what was left.

    I lived in Brighton, uk for a bit. The starlings roosted on the West Pier which is a steel skeleton after a fire decades ago.

    The murmurations in the autumn were amazing.
