0016 Brighton & Hove: Sunday 27 January 2013

I was casually snapping at the local beach volleyball court yesterday when it was invaded ... by a wedding party.

Beach Wedding 1

I guess that the players were part of the wedding.

Not sure about the sartorial wisdom of black suit/blazer tops with dark jeans, but hats off to this guy for nonetheless looking dapper.

Were I Titian, this volley ball would be the Virgin Mary. But times change.

Titian's painting is in the Frari church in Venice - which isn't so far off in spirit from St Bartholomew's, my favourite church in Brighton.

St Bartholomew 1

St Bartholomew is famously tall, and rather severe from the outside ,,,

St Bartholomew 2

But the inside is a haven of peace.

So Italianate, and cold, that after ten minutes you're longing for an espresso.

St Bartholomew 3
