A day out to Blackpool, the best seaside town in the UK....

Here is the Tower - world famous...

And up the steps from the beach:

This is the North Pier itself:

And finally, I drove 3 miles down the road to Lytham St Annes, a small resort close by, and footsteps in the sand:

(Have to admit to a bit of photoshopped mist here... ahem...)


A nice day out.

These pictures bring back memories, Blackpool is was my home town, but I still go there to keep in touch with my old mates.

Great shots :thumb

It is definately an interesting area I spend most weekends in Cleveleys (between Blackpool and Fleetwood).

Some of my pics from the area

Blackpool - nice! Did you go on the Pepsi Max rollercoaster - a shot from the top of there would be great if a tad scary. I almost soiled my pants on that thing a while back.

I like the composition on the one with the steps as well - good job!
