Local photographer Dan Desborough has produced a YouTube video showcasing Folkestone through his evocative photography, which can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKuxGWkF1Jc
Dan Desborough (who can be found on Twitter at www.twitter.com/dandes) said:
"In response to an earlier video slating Folkestone and then the local press publishing it I thought i would share some of the beauty that our town has to offer though my images. Picture quality is not good on here but if you go to www.dandesborough.co.uk you can see the pictures in better quality. I look forward to hearing your comments.
"Also, my photography work will be on permanent exhibition in the new Googies art cafe in the lanterns in Folkestone which opens this weekend. Please pop in and say hello and help to promote local art and business."
Folkestone Councillor Tim Prater commented:
"Some of the photos in the video are simply awesome - they really show off Folkestone brilliantly. There are of course problems and issues in Folkestone - as in all towns. We await the Harbour redevelopment and its a real shame it has ended up becoming so delayed.
But there are still stunning areas in Folkestone - from the White Horse overlooking Cheriton to the Leas, Lower Leas park, beaches, our Martello Towers, sea views and much more. We should celebrate and promote them - and Dan's video does just that."
