Photo holiday to Norfolk, 'Norwich 12', and erosion of Norfolks coasts

Hello! Just got back from a holiday in Norfolk, specifically the coast around Cromer and Overstrand.

Naturally, being a photographer, I took loads of photographs. During the holiday I noticed the extent of erosion along the aforementioned coastlines. This is reflected in some of my photographs, shown below, where I came across an assortment of debris from collapsed structures due to cliff erosion. This included the cross-section of the foundations of a former building long since collapsed, with chunks of the wall now covered in weeds, forgotten.





In places, the wooden sea defenses had seen better days, now reduced to it's skeleton.


Finally, south along the coast from where I stayed, the steps down to the beach had collapsed, and while I could not tell how long ago this had happened, no attempt to create a makeshift path appeared to have been made.


NORWICH 12

In other news, I photographed the 'Norwich 12':

"the UK's finest collection of individually outstanding heritage buildings spanning the Norman, medieval, Georgian, Victorian and modern eras." (as the Norwich 12 website describes them)

Originally, I planned to create a 'Castles of the Architects' entry featuring these buildings, in which the tourist information was interested in. In addition to this, however, I plan to create more montages centering around how there are '12' buildings, and the number 12 (e.g. use a clock face as it has 12 numbers on it. Perhaps, 'time to visit Norwich!' as the slogan).

Anyway, these montages are early days as I need to edit down the photos I took down first, and I will keep you posted!
