Very cool image Paul...interesting scene... the lighting - natural and man-made - is very nice... the signs are great.
I like that you corrected geometric distortion - it's often overlooked.
I've long been curious about Blackpool because of the Jethro Tull song... just the right character leaning against the kiosk roll-up might have been cool too.

I'm curious about the title. As you might know, neither Marmite nor
Vegemite are at all popular in the US. The products are available in
some stores, but not usually in a general supermarket.

My experience with Marmite has been that a little can be OK, but
too much (which doesn't take very much) is disastrous.

I don't mean to imply that you've added too much in post, but the
only way I can interpret the title is that you feel you might have.

Thanks both for your observations.

Eric, the pier was all but deserted. Only a couple of workers appeared to be there by this time, and they were too busy finishing off whatever their lockdown routines were.

Tony - we often over here use the word "marmite" in the context of "it's one of those, either you love it, or you hate it"...

Paul.
