Beach hazard
Despite the warning sign, the outfall on Mablethorpe beach has always attracted people as long as I can remember. Not only does it have a constant flow of freshwater emptying into the sea, but it forms pools of seawater beside it as the tide recedes in which people will paddle or try to catch sea creatures (mostly small crabs). The pools of water can be a few feet deep sometimes though, and although not steep, the sloping sides of the outfall can be very slippery when the seaweed is wet.

Out of season mini-golf
This mini-golf course in Queen’s Park, Mablethorpe was the only thing open, besides the cafe, when I visited in October. The children’s paddling pool was drained and the colourful fountains removed, the miniature railway wasn’t running, the locomotive and carriages presumably parked in the storage tunnel for the winter, the paddle-boats on the boating lake had been removed from the water, and the small kid’s play area locked up behind a threatening-looking barbed wire topped fence.
But this couple were enjoying their game of crazy golf nevertheless.

Empty frame
The curious thing about this picture is that, if you look closely, you can see that the writing on the sign affixed to the building is reversed. When I first saw it I had a moment where I thought I’d scanned the negative back-to-front, event though I was sure the building and empty sign-frame were positioned this way when I composed the shot. In the end I checked Google Street View to check I wasn’t going crazy and discovered that the sign is actually reversed in the physical scene. Perhaps the owners flipped it over at some point. The empty frame certainly gives the impression that accommodation is no longer available.

Swans at rest
A bevy of swans await next year’s summer season to be released back onto the boating lake.

Empty courts
These mixed-use courts are probably full of people in the summertime but there was no-one partaking of tennis, or any of the other games marked up on the tarmac, in October.
