55 out of 121, not bad for my first challenge.

This is the North Bay in Scarborough, UK. The stairs are part of the sea defense that was built a couple of years ago to help preserve the coastline. The stairs lead down to the beach but at high tide are almost completely submerged.

Thanks for all the votes and helpful comments.

This is a very interesting photo. Kind of creepy, kind of like a dream. Not sure how to word it but I like it. The black and white seems perfect for this.

I like the simplicity of the shot. Great symmetry, but broken up by the variation in the clouds. ;~D 7
