Blackpool - The English Riviera

[Luckynp]

Yesterday went to visit my wife's parents in Blackpool in the North West of England. A resort much favoured by the young (funfairs, orgiastic dancing and humungous alcohol consumption) and the old (genteel walks in the "bracing" atmosphere).

The evening light was just wonderful and I managed to get an hour's shooting.

Is that last one a trolley? Haven't seen one of those since I was a kid.

Yes, it is a trolley - we call them trams and they are a feature of Blackpool.

Thanks for your appreciation.

Great shots. All the images have an authentic and rustic quality to them, i especially like the 3rd one.

Interesting place. I'm going to be different--I like the first one best. Looks like you had a great hour of photo taking.

Thanks Terri. It was one of those golden evenings.
