Grand Pier #365photos2026

Grand Pier

This was the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare taken from the beach. The tide was in so (for once) the pier was in the water.

This year I am doing my photograph a day thing again. Every day during 2026 I am aiming to take a photograph and post it to Instagram and this blog.

I have done a photo a day before in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, 2022 and 2024. I did try in 2018 but I had a few technical issues so stopped after a few weeks.

Somerset in the sixties

Lovely BFI film about various places in Somerset including Weston-super-Mare.

Obviously. bit dated in places, but it does show off many of the attractions of the seaside resort which now no longer exist.

29. Poppy

Far Away from most of the sculptures, in Puxton Park, near Weston-super-Mare is Poppy.

Inspired by the screen sensation ‘Trolls’, the pink and plucky Poppy has been designed in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation. As the heart and high note of her colourful world, Poppy radiates positivity and energy with her blue and green dress, flowers and a mop of her trademark fuzzy hair.
