VKeith, as Mr. Burns would say: "Excellent". :)

Your picture became a historical point of modern era. You are a lucky man and a good photographer.

Greetings from Brazil and Merry Christmas!

Very sad indeed! I have a wonderful picture of the West Pier at sunset from my balcony at the Metropole Hotel in Brighton when I was there in 1998. Greetings to all from sunny Miami! Happy holidays to all!!!

Great pic, Shame to see that old pier reduced to a rusting frame in hours after standing for over 140 years.

What a dramatic ending to this memorable & romantic venue to many souls..I plan to revisit the Pier this April, after some 20 years! & just knew about the fire today by chance..Any news of it being rebuilt? Anyway, its a great & quality shot by Keith.. Greetings from Shaari of Putrajaya, Malaysia.

I reckon it was the palace pier lot, because obviously if they were thinking of doing up west pier then their businesses would be under major threat. Great shot btw =]
