To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.
The Hastings Lifeboat Station is located at The Stade in Hastings Old Town – right next to the fishing fleet berths on the working beach. The new boathouse was built in 1995 to safely accommodate the Mersey class and D class lifeboats, along with tractor, bobcat and carriages. The station was also the first designated visitor centre for the RNLI, and now attracts over 60,000 visitors each year.

Nice shot! Don’t they do a great job? An 18 year old boy lost his life off the coast of Hartlepool last week. Victim of the heatwave? His body was just found. So very sad!
The coastguards have been busy down here too. People underestimate the sea.
What a glorious blue, Jude! I’m off for an archive hunt
I AM going to do your challenge, honest! It might have to wait till the very last day of the month though.
You’ll have to see what blues you found in Spain. Surely must be something?
Oh, lots! I’ve chosen quite a few. But given the challenge I’ve set myself, it works better to do these at the very end, with bits and pieces from everywhere.
Sounds interesting 💙
I love the station’s reflection in the rain puddle.
Stretching the knowledge of water cycle, maybe some rain drops returned, decades later, to visit an old friend, the Lifeboat Station 🙂
They are building a huge new Lifeboat Station at Wells-Next-The-Sea. Not sure why, as the old one next to it still looks very good.

Best wishes, Pete. x
Given the RNLI is a charity you have wonder how they can afford to build such things.
Yes, I am a Shoreline Member and have been since my late 20s, but I really see no need for another station at Wells.
Have you enquired about it?
No, I spotted the frame of it that day I met my friends from London, so looked it up when I got home. I get a Lifeboat magazine a few times a year, and I expect there will be something about it in there. x
Lovely photo, especially with the reflection n the puddle. That blue colour is just amazing.
Thanks. I think I took the photo because of the reflection!
No blue buildings from me unfortunately, but I found other blues! https://hairbellsandmaples.com/2021/07/26/life-in-colour-photo-challenge-2021-july-blue-little-balls/
That shade is quite imposing on a building. I don’t think I have any, certainly none this blue, but I’ll take a look.
Yes, it is very bright!
I love that colour. I am in admiration of what the lifeboat crews do. I hadn’t quite appreciated it properly until I saw a couple of TV programmes about them.
