most of the public toilets were still closed in March, and the outward impression suggested that perhaps it should stay that way

The British are renowned for holding in their emotions ("stiff upper lip").  What you have noticed is that emotions are not the only thing that need to be held in when out in public places.  There is a good reason why many of the best walks include some well-sheltered woodland.

You might be right ;) . Unfortunately, there was rarely a well-sheltered woodland available.

I would like to show a few pictures from my last holiday in this thread. The trip was to the Isle of Thanet in north-east Kent. I photographed exclusively in black and white and most of the pictures are long exposures with an exposure time of two minutes. The camera was a Leica SL2 and I used lenses from the I series by Sigma.

I am happy to receive comments, questions, criticism and suggestions for improvement. But please be considerate of my mediocre English.

Our holiday home was in Broadstairs, so I'll show a few pictures from there first.

A charming study of the Kent coast, an area I know well, having lived here for more than 30 years.  I can place almost every image but the long exposures make for a dream-like quality.

Out of curiosity, did you use ND filters to get the long exposures, or wait for very dim light?

Thanks

Thank you very much for your kind words. I always use an ND4000 filter for long exposures. And even with that I sometimes had to stop down to f/22 at ISO 50.

Today I have a few more pictures, but I'm afraid these will be the last.

I have some books by Michael Kenna that have inspired me a lot.

Another book tip on the subject:

@ralf3  Another photographer whose work comes to mind is David Fokos:  http://www.davidfokos.net/works

I love this kind of imagery - these are very calming and zen like.  Great work, congratulations!
