The artist Turner loved Margate and chose to live there. He memorably claimed that “…the skies over Thanet are the loveliest in all Europe”.
Here are some pictures that I took a few days ago from Margate Harbour.
The Tate is the modern building behind the old clock tower.
Looking towards London.
Stunning skies you captured there John and I really must make a point of visiting the new Tate.
ReplyDeleteWell worth a visit.
DeleteMargate Harbor is pretty! :Whistles:
ReplyDeleteThe light is fabulous.
DeleteVery nice, quintessentially English seaside town ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, a very impoverished one unfortunately. The 60s dead shopping centre needs bulldozing and converting into homes.
DeleteStunning pictures there John and like you I too love Turner
ReplyDeleteSuperb artist
