Portobello Beach at Dusk Photo taken from the Joppa side
Joppa & Snow. The East end of Portobello Beach under a slight cover of snow - not quite as much as in these: http://www.pbase.com/wangi/image/40099092 http://www.pbase.com/wangi/image/40099093 http://www.pbase.com/wangi/image/40068899 !
Portobello Beach A sunny day, but quite a cold wind, otherwise the view may have been busier. Portobello sands are pretty decent for a city beach. Let down mainly by the weather.
