Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

            Candid street shot

I processed this image in both colour and black and white. Though having it in black and white is a verse somewhere in the street photography Bible, there is something about this in colour that somehow makes this image feel all the more lonelier, so I've posted it in colour.

(Some of you may recognise this lady from another shot of her, I took a couple in a row... she came past me coughing and spluttering in between taking drags on a cigarette. I am not judging her for smoking, just saying what's going on in the image. I also get that maybe someone could think they're so old and/or ill already,  what's the point in giving up smoking? I was more struck by the emotions I see in this image than her smoking.)
