United Kingdom Sea Posts at Southwick, Brighton
Six posts, some distance out to sea, creating a minimalist composition which is well suited to long exposure photography.
CAUTION: I am not certain that I have the location of this shot 100% correct. It won't be miles out, so if you go to where I marked the shot you should be able to find the posts, but it's a fairly featureless area and the posts don't show on satellite imagery so I had a hard time pinpointing the location after the fact. If you go here with a GPS and can confirm or correct the location, please let me know.

Photography Tips
Sunset worked well for me here, but I've not tried it at other times of day. The best composition I think is with direct symmetry by placing the two nearest posts centrally against the backdrop of the posts further back.
Pay attention to tide times, you'll want to ensure the posts are partially submerged in the water otherwise the composition won't work. High tide would be best.

Travel Information
It was a bus journey from Brighton and a fair walk from the bus stop. This spot is behind an industrial area in essentially the middle of nowhere, there will be nobody else around. If you come by car, parking spaces are marked on the Map.
