The Turner Gallery reflected in the pool left by the receding tide. The Kings Stairs is a great place to sit and watch the #sunset #margate #kent #thanet #reflections #travel #tourism #travel #staycation I have really been struggling with a slump in my photography, i had no enthusiasm to get out and found it a real struggle. Tonight i decided i had to get out and shoot, i gathered all my gear, jumped in the car and headed out to capture Sunset at Margate, Kent. I parked a few streets away and walked down to the seafront and thus avoided any car parking charges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jWmO8X8Yx8

Turner Contemporary houses fascinating works of contemporary and modern art. It is free to enter and an absolute must when visiting Margate. The building is an odd one amongst the older architecture and close distance to the actual sea, but looks stunning from every angle. #LifeAtExpedia #Merch #England #EastCoast #Margate
When you're in Margate, drop in at the Turner Contemporary for some great art and exhibitions. Admission is free! This is is from the inside of Yin Xiuzhen's 'Digestive Cavity'. #lifeatexpedia
Giotto di Bondone once said that "every painting is a voyage into a sacred harbour." The relevance of this great quote will not be lost when you take in the collection at Turner Contemporary.

When you've spent a bit of time at this Margate display of artworks, why not make your way to Dreamland, Botany Bay, and Westwood Cross Shopping Centre? They're not very far from Turner Contemporary and also popular with many travelers.
