Argus Camera Club snapper Graham Dale has captured the start of spring in Brighton's Saltdean. Graham took a handful of photos of the cliffs and the surrounds, while out on a sunny walk. As spring arrives with its signature burst of colour, daffodils can be found blooming on the cliffs.

For members of the Argus Camera Club, this annual display is an opportunity to practice their craft, experiment with new techniques, and celebrate the beauty of nature. The cliffs in Saltdean are part of the larger chalk downland landscape that stretches across much of the South Downs.
These white chalk cliffs, also known as the South Downs escarpment, were formed over 60 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. Saltdean cliffs are part of the coastline between Brighton and Newhaven, featuring chalk cliffs, shingle beaches, and a promenade known as the Undercliff Walk, which is a popular path for pedestrians and cyclists.

Newby. Its distinctive Art Deco design, with clean lines, geometric shapes, and elegant curves, makes it a standout architectural gem. Saltdean Lido just opposite is is an Art Deco lido designed by architect R.
