This picture of The Red Arrows was taken at Eastbourne air show last summer. It has been posted for The Gallery a fab weekly photo post, the brain child of Tara at Sticky Fingers. Every week Tara will post a prompt and then the interpretation is up to us! This weeks prompt is ‘ A Number.’
I love so much about this picture, I know it’s not the clearest or sharpest- I had better ones of the planes but I love the boats and the shadows on the sea. We were blessed with a beautiful day and it was the cheapest day out ever….and it costs a lot to do anything with five children normally. Boys and girls all had a great time. Thoroughly recommend a day like that!
Sorry to go a bit off the topic but can anybody recommend a good kitchen firm in the United Kingdom.
Oh wow. What a stunning photo! I have such a thing for planes – and the water. The combo is fabulous!

Thank you very much Jo. 🙂
wonderful photo.so much in it to look at too. The sea is stunning in it too.
Thank you, yes always something to find in it. :0)
Wow, fantastic! My dad is a plane buff and we would always go to see them.
We did have a fantastic day. Was really lovely. :0)
Oh wow, is what I said when your blog opened up 🙂 Nice shot!

Thank you Marianne. ;0)
Such a great photo. Excellent. x
Thank you very much. x
Fabulous! I love that you appear to be above the planes. What a beautiful day weather wise too! Thanks for stopping by at my place (you were my first ever commenter)!
A lot of the time we were above them….so hard to describe or photograph.
And….pleasure. :0)
Oh wow! That picture is amazing. Breathtaking in fact. Love it!

Thank you Rosie. :0)
That’s a fabulous photo! You can’t beat the seaside on a sunny day. Not that I get much opportunity to test that theory being a midlander who now lives in Manchester!
.-= Kath@Parklover´s last blog ..26.2 =-.
You can’t beat it can you. I love the sea, whatever the weather. :0)
What a beautiful picture. I love the view of the sea. It’s just so… beautiful!
Thank you very much. :0)
Oh wow that is so cool! Love love love the white streaks behind them – totally in the right place at the right time for that pic
.-= Tara@Sticky Fingers´s last blog ..The Gallery: 4½ =-.
I loved the white streaks too, couldn’t think of the correct word though..think it may be vapor? The show really was mesmorising!
Wow, great photo. I think that is brilliant!
Awww, thanks. :0)
Oh I LOVE taking photos of the Red Arrows! Though I’ve never managed to get myself above them like this – how cool is that? I went to Leuchars Air Show last year for the first time and loved it – I’m such a geek!

I think I took 100’s that day….I had some better ones of the Red Arrows, wish I’d posted them too but I did particularly like the view in this one. :0)
What a fantastic picture! The shadows are awesome and the composition of it too! Love it 😀

Thank you Hayley.
Lovely photo! My kids always used to to the Southend AIrshow with their dad. 2 of them still do. An enjoyable, fun, cheap day out…
.-= Brighton Mum-Teenage Angst´s last blog ..One Passion…The Gallery at Sticky Fingers =-.
I think it cost £5 to park and that was it!! Unheard of in this country isn’t it! ;0S
I LOVE your photograph. Must have been taken on one of the very few sunny days we had last summer!
.-= Caroline´s last blog ..Three (The Gallery) =-.
Yes one of the few…I think the next couple of days of the show were spoiled by the bad weather unfortunately. :0(
There is so much to look at in this photo – and you’re right, the boats add a lovely dimension to it. It’s great!
(Who’s the bloke clenching his buttocks in the foreground?!)
.-= Trish@ Mum’s Gone to´s last blog ..The Gallery – 36 =-.
Oh I hadn’t noticed that – not that closely anyway – now I can’t stop looking…
.-= MrsW´s last blog ..Looking at the thistle with a drunk man =-.
Haha, I hadn’t noticed either….now I can’t stop looking!!
I think the shaddow is wonderful. I love airshows we are hoping to take the boys to the South Shields one this year
.-= The Mad House´s last blog ..The Past in Pictures =-.
Thank you…it really was a great day. The children were fascinated by the planes…I think it helped where we were watching from as well because we felt so close to some of them.
Oh WOW! This is a fabulous photo! What a great response to the prompt! xx
Thanks Josie, I had lots of wonderful ideas…and no time for them. I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s pictures this week. x
