Thanks for the explanation, Rose. It makes sense now.

I really enjoyed Weston-Super-Mare for street photography, People seemed quite unbothered by the presence of a camera. This pair of shots were taken inside the arcade building at the end of the pier, which was well worth the £1 entrance charge.

I had high hopes for a colourful sunset at Clevedon Pier. With under an hour to go, there was the right amount of cloud around to reflect the sun's rays from below the horizon and light up the sky. As frequently happens, though, cloud gathered on the horizon as the sun went down and the colours were muted.

While a part of me regrets that we did not experience a more spectacular pyrotechnic display from the setting sun at Clevedon, I am enjoying the more subtle colours which we saw.
