Weather is the perennial topic of British summertime discussion and nowhere is the weather more oft discussed than at the great British sea-side. This is the grand pier at Weston Super Mare in England - a very traditional British summer holiday destination. Despite the dim light and slight chill there are children digging sand castles and taking donkey rides along the beach.

There's not much to say about this photo. That is a good thing. I like it a lot. I think sunlight breaking through clouds is one of my favorite things to view and photograph. I think you captured this one splendidly. Good work and good luck in future challenges.
This really is incredibly familiar to us Brits isn't it? I know it has universal appeal too but somehow I wonder if the childhood memories of overcast days at the beach, when each peek of the sun was cause for celebration, don't make it even more meaningful for British voters.
Would love to know what it's average score from British DPCers was!
Nice capture. Like the perspective and the colors of the sky. Great job with the exposure on this one. It is really exceptional how nothing washed out. 9
