Western Harbour

This view looks to the west across Ocean Terminal from the 4th floor of the Ocean Terminal car park.  The buildings in the background, to the left of the destroyer, are:

- apartments built a few years ago on the site of the former kipper factories to the east of the old fishmarket at Newhaven Harbour

-  the building with the curved roof,  the Next Generation fitness club.

Black &White Photo

This was taken as a colour photo but I have converted it to black and white because there was very little colour in the destroyer, and I found most of the colour in the photo to be a distraction.
