Blissfully unaware… by lomokev
Blissfully unaware that massive wave that is about to knock him over. this is form the annual brighton christmas day swim.
From a photographers perspective its all over in about 10 minutes, realistically you can only get about 5 or 6 decent shots each year, its really tricky environment to shot in especially if its rough. Nothing will top the picture I posted at the beginging of the week not even in a month of christmass days.
Conditions on Christmas day 2011 where so bad that the event was official called off but that did not stop approximately 100 people going in watched by thousands. Quite a few need help getting out. one person needed rescuing by brighton swimming club members, he walked off the beach to an ambulance but need help to get there.

Average Christmas Day Fun by lomokev
This is not actually want it looks like. The kid is running a wave that is about to knock him over. Although the wave dose not look big the shape of beach its quite easy to dragged back in and as the water is around 5c 41f that is not a good thing.
This is form the annual Brighton christmas day swim, the conditions where appalling. So bad in fact that the event was official called off but that did not stop approximately 100 people going in watched by thousands. Quite a few need help getting out. One person needed rescuing by Brighton swimming club members, he walked off the beach to an ambulance but need help to get there.

In a long-exposure photo, the interior of Salisbury Cathedral is illuminated by trails of candles carried by choristers during the annual “darkness to light” advent procession in Salisbury, England, on November 25, 2011. The service - which begins with the medieval cathedral in total darkness and silence before the Advent Candle is lit at the West End -is one of the most popular services of the liturgical year. The annual advent service, which takes place over three nights, is a mix of music and readings during which two great candlelit processions move around the different spaces in the 750-year-old building which, by the end, is illuminated by almost 1,300 candles and is a spectacular start to the Christmas season.
